How about a good pipe?

I have done some work at the WLW transmitter site. Some of the 500,000 watt amplifier is still there, but it is far from operational. The Pyrex cooling tubes are gone, as well as the cooling pond. I think the modulation transformer is gone, (was full of PCB) as well as a lot of other components...
