If you can wait a while, the folks at WOR may have a Continental 317 up for grabs; they are moving to a new transmitter site, but the 317 (currently their backup transmitter) will not be reinstalled there. It was WOR's main transmitter until 1997; they still use it weekly, and it sounds great on the air (at least when they run it with full NRSC audio bandwidth).

I remember WOR was offering up one of there 50 kw's, I think an older Continental, since they were building a new transmitter plant. That was last summerish, but you can check.
