The old bunker transmitter room for 1500 Burbank has long since been
emptied of anything that was there for the AM:

As for Bauers, I just finished writing a piece on Paul Gregg for the
next issue of Radio Guide (yes, I'm no longer with RW after almost a
decade), and there's no question he'd be interested in hearing from
anyone looking to part with a 707 or other vintage Bauer transmitters.
He'll either part it out to support anyone (usually south of the border)
who's still running one actively, or he'll find a friendly ham who'd
love to get the old beast up and running on 160.
