I'm sure by now, the original 1955+ Transmitter gen-set has been replaced with a newer model....... I would hope.
Old Lee Enterprise owners would newer consider something that made sense like that.
New Transmitters and upgrades were done in 1982, at the tune of about 1 million dollars.
It would have made sense back then ..... but what about now????

I think they got a new genset with the DTV/UHF xmtr.
A regulator failure could happen anytime.
