Ahhh! But they have a construction permit to go digital on ch 34, It will be interesting to see how long they stay analog.

RCA really overdid that one. Large power transformer and 5Y3 rectifier.
Large wooden cabinet. IIRC, real venier, not photo-finish. :yes:

I've had one sitting on the floor forever. The only thing to pick up here that's analog is a spanish station and a very low power shopping channel.
