Cabinet 1 was the rectifier where 19,000 volts A/C was converted to DC to power the electron beam of the Klystron Power Amplifier tubes. In this cabinet were the various relays, circuit breakers, and control circuitry for the other various systems of the transmitter such as the external cooling system that circulated deionized water through the Klystron tubes and magnetic frames used to focus the beams then through a heat exchanger and serious of pipes and pumps, and fans.

The big resistor labelled 206 (20 kilovolts @ 1 mA is a 20 mego-ohm 20 watt resistor.
It can be very useful to safely discharge large high voltage capacitors.
And if you hook-up a 1 mA milliammeter in series (cold side), you'll have a 20 000 volt voltmener, again useful to see if there's any residual voltage in a capacitor.
That long resistor, i had something similar that was used as probes for a substation, if it's made the same way it will be a string of standard looking resistors, you may find some silicone caulking in there too, but it's not a problem as i think there is only enough silicone to prevent vibration.
HAHA, i remember my days in telecomms installing telephone exchanges, we used loads of that waxed twine, much better than zip ties as you can fan out the wires better prior to installing the harness.

What about the next disassembly videos for the transmitter ? Seems it's full of great stuff that I would like to see !

uhhmm autopsy? the transmitter works right and your the one who's gonna kill it.
:S
but i like the series :P

While we're at it, shouldn't it be were, instead of where? >_>
(Also, I don't recall them saying people were cut up on it. They could have been, but they didn't say it.)
