When I was there maybe around 2005 +/- the RCA was mostly there
(meatball was missing)   You could see the waterline, it had been
somewhere in Florida and got wet from a flood or Hurricane.    It was
replaced and later cleaned up and moved to Knoxville and must have
been on there a long time.  The dolly for the big final tubes was
still there.  Huge components in the back.  The cooling blowers in the
next room were also a sight to see.

There was a dead MW50 on site.  And a very sick SX5 making some power.
 But I am sure something must have been done since then.
