This post is rated R— RCA!!! This is the transmitter site for WCKT-TV which later went on to become WSVN-TV, then WSVN-DT – the new digital site is across the street.
Okay normally I’d save the best for last but— here you go. I COULDN’T WAIT.
There was no A/C at the site in these days – the large stylized funky vent in the ceiling was connected to a large supply or exhaust fan.
The Cat.
This set of photos were glamour shots taken by Caterpillar after they installed the generator.

The base and elevator cab
Well grounded 😀

Ha. None that I’m aware of having existed. That whole site got stripped out and I think it’s going to be paved over to build more ~luxury townhomes~
