Still find it sad that the fcc did not mandate that a few analog sites remain on standby in case of a nation wide emergency. to me it makes more sense to keep a few very high power transmitters and repeater systems active and on standby.
It's always sad to see equipment disassembled- so much work goes into installing all that. But you sure got your money's worth out of that transmitter. I worked with that model back in 1969-72. It was a good looking transmitter- much prettier than the stuff today where esthetics is no considered at all. But the new xmtrs with IOT tubes are sure easier on the power bill.
They should had put the TT-11-AH that was in Hawaii in a museum. It was the oldest operating VHF transmitter in the world before it was shut down in 2008.
