60 years later! He used some VERY nice-looking transformers.
I love that look with the rounded corners and black wrinkle paint!

Speaking of homebrew...what was once commonplace is now becoming a lost art.
To see evidence of this all one has to do is look at "Big Bertha", a xmtr
presently owned by W4QCU. Bertha runs 500 watts to push-pull 100THs modulated by a
pair of 805's, she stands 7 feet tall and weighs in at 600 pounds. The rig
was constructed by Casey Kasefang, W4HYG (now a SK) after WW-II. Nearly all of
the components date from the late 1930s.
Having been physically in the same space with this transmitter, I can
vouch for how 'neat' it looks.
I've got some video of it, but unfortunatly, very limited still shots :-(
