Used Transmitter....

[alabamamic]

In need of a good used 1kw AM transmitter. Any ideas on where to find one?

I'd start by watching Ebay. They do come up from time to time.

Check both online and in the back advertisement sections of various broadcast related magazines.
There are companies that specialize in used and rebuilt rigs.
Another option is the grapevine and luck method of finding out if anyone is replacing or upgrading a rig.
Online you can find places like

On one of the Broadcast mailing lists (BC), I just came across a rig being offered in Florida:

"If anyone wants a working, but needs some TLC, Continental 1 KW box I have one available here in NE Florida. Best offer and you pick up in the next couple weeks. We need to make room for a couple new transmitter."
