transmitters (was: WCAP Update)

[Gary's Ice Cream]

In all my days at WLLH I don't ever think they were ever on Middlesex
Street.  They went from Broadway to Church Street and then to the hotel.

Just for fun, and while on the subject of transmitters and tube replacement,
I thought I'd take two quick snapshots of the Western Electric 310A manual

On page 13, it actually has (under "General Features") a line for "Tube
Cost" which states, " An approximate cost of the replacement tube complement
(my note: that's 15 tubes for the 100-watt model)  $210.00" That's in 1935
dollars.
Btw, this transmitter was at the WLLH 4 Broadway studios (as a back-up)
until WLLH moved to Middlesex Street. (The transmitter did not make the
move)
