Yep, looked like a washing machine. Very high voltages in a very confined environment and 60's era insulating materials. A real widow maker.
There was a Vanguard II, later in the 60's. It was just a slightly larger coffin.

The anniversary should have been very exciting. It is unfortunate that KFMB and their owners are not making a bigger deal out of this
A 70th Anniversary SHOULD have been a great opportunity to revitalize and re-energize the station and its audience. By my count, there are 3 stations in San Diego that have the call letters "KFMB." Those would be TV, AM and FM. But for the AM station, the other two would not exist. Instead, it is a wasted opportunity, in my humble opinion.
