[BC] Seen at the NAB

[Andy Soule]

I wonder if they have any broadcast gear in their collection?  At one of my 
old stations, they pulled a Western Electric 5w water cooled rig out of 
service in the mid 70's, and the story goes it was offered to the 
Smithsonian and they accepted, but didnt want to pay freight.  The station 
sent it to a junkyard instead, where t was quickly salvaged and part of it 
ended up on that pirate boat in NY harbor.
