Harris FM10K photos wanted
- Thread starter Studio1

I have a few FM-10k pictures here:

I still have one in use as a spare so if you are in a bind I can snap some images on Monday and send them to you.

I have a 10 K, still humming along. Put it on the air in 1988. Building is kind of small, difficult to get good shots of it. BTW--need a plate current meter for it. Old meter had its pointer hop off the pivot.
??? Hartford photos don't seem to show a K. Unless it is the Gates Green transmitter at the far left of one photo. With the K series Harris switched to a black and white, later blue and white color scheme, although there were a few green MW-1's made. Possible that there might be a transition "K" with green "H" series coloring.
There are some shots of a blue transmitter--with doors. My "K" doesn't have doors, doesn't have any where to hang them, and isn't that wide.

WCCC is a B, not a B-1. My station is a B-1, 25 kw @ 100 meters AHAAT, or, in my case, 17 kw at 119 meters AHAAT--8.6 kw into a 4 bay some 175 feet above ground.
Ah..that has to be a 20K at WCCC. Explains the doors. To get 23 KW through about 100 meters of feedline to a 3 bay requires around 16 kw in drive, as shown in the one photo of the in-line watt meters.
Let me see if my manual has a good photo of a 10K--I can only get partial shots on my box where it sits.

Cheers guys. It's the blue FM10K like this one here: http://www.necrat.us/wezn-8t.jpg
I'm not stuck or needing anything urgently, just hoping to get photos of external and internals if and when people can take them.
Thanks for the link.. some interesting archive stuff there!

Same size as mine--must be an older model. As I mentioned, mine has no doors, (no place to hang them). My 10K came right off the floor in Vegas in '88--we made a partial trade for a 2.5K for a new station. Harris came out with the HT10 shortly after.
I can send some photos in a day or two--I have the carcass of a 10K in the garage of our one station. Incidentally--if you need some parts for one of these beasts I'll see what I can scavenge off the body.
I can probably get some internal photos of the working 10K in a few weeks. Had it off yesterday, trying to replace the plate current meter. An old Simpson meter I had didn't work--transmitter overloaded. Had to put the "dead" meter back.

Has anyone checked the latency of an Omnia One?

Cheers for that Tom.. would be greatly appreciated. Just PM me with a link or I can give you my email. I don't have any need for parts at this point, but it's good to know there are still some floating around.
The blue transmitter with the double front doors is indeed a 10k from about 1977 I believe. Still in standby service at WCCC-FM and working great. Runs 10kw out into the old 5-bay which is our back-up yielding 23kw ERP. I can get some interior and exterior shots later this week. Is there anything specific inside that you need close ups of???
We have a 20K as a primary. It still runs quite well. It used to run horribly, but once we had a really good engineer who took it on as a project and stripped it down and fixed it properly (most everything was jumpered and nasty). After his cleanup and proper repair, it has been a reliable box.
When he left, we were fortunate to hire another great engineer and he has kept it running well. The only modification is that it uses a more modern exciter as opposed to the MS-15 that came with it.
