Looks like a real beauty. Wish it was an R-1000 however. I'd go for it.
Here's a photo of an R-1000A. K5BAI, "The Old Dawg" is on the right
holding up the transmiiter. The rig belongs to his son Mike, not in
the photo.

Who's the other guy in the photo, Brian?
Good to hear you on the air this morning. By the 2nd round, your signal
had started to fall off. I -had- ran the variac up on the plate supply,
to produce around 200w of carrier output, but even if there was full
potential, the transformer for the final is only a BC-610 plate
transformer, at 2500v. A Choke input power supply, with 2 LC stages, is
only gonna make around 2350 to 2400vDC. The tank circuit in my rig has
a pair of 250TH's in push-pull, link coupled, in a balanced circuit. If
I pulled one tube, then the remaining tube would handle all the current,
and it would still be as if I was running a pair. So, not really a
'gain' in having a pair, in such a circuit. Parallel would be a
different story.
