[BC] identifying the equipment

[Jeff Johnson]

Yes, that is a Collins transmitter. At X-Star we had similarly styled (FM) 
830s. They were beautiful. What model # would a Collins AM of that physical 
size be?

That was back in the day transmitters were pretty. The new Nautels are nice 
looking.

Is this station AM? It appears to be monaural, even though the Ampex in the 
studio is stereo.

Are the two items on the top of the stack immediately above his left 
shoulder those cart decks for 'C' (big) carts. The little round logo could 
be Collins.
