When the newspaper moved out of the Main St. Brockton building, they cleared 
it.  The only occupant of the building is WXBR-1460, former WBET.  Next time 
I'm there I'll see if I can find the old rig.  Probably not, I'd bet.

There was also an RCA 5 KW AM transmitter and a Harris 3.5 Kw FM in storage
somewhere. Not sure if the 97.7 Phasitron rig made it to the storage area, but
it just might have. This was 20+ years ago though.. There was a guy named Ray
Smith who would know if that stuff was still around. He used to be the
Property Manager for the Enterprise-I'm sure that if he's still around one of
the old timers from the Enterprise would know him could hook you up.
