it really baffled me why people would smash things like this up. what the fuck does it prove? "oh yes, you have more strength than a piece of glass. very well done to you. moron."
i just don't get why it's a fun activity for so many people.

They look to me like they were voltage and current meters, probably as diagnostic tools for an amplifier...

Anode, Cathode, Filament... this was likely the control panel of a vacuum tube based transmitter.

See this site really is educational, look at all the stuff you learn just by looking at pictures.

I wonder if when it was operational, if there was the standard humming and the repetitive beeping and plonking sounds. It would be neat to see. Oh and of course, the flashing lights.

Who would be stupid enough to do something like this? What idiots!

Probably the same kids that spraypainted the penis on the wall in one of the other photos

What a bunch of predictable little bastards to destroy that.

Dumb. This sort of hardware is one of the top three reasons I go to sites like this. I like to see what they used to do what, look at how it's set up, write down what's what, and then look up the specs on everything. It makes it more complete an experience to look at my pictures and know exactly what they did with what.

Exactly my feelings. Zorb. One of the things I like to do (if it happens to be undamaged) is to see what it might take to get it going again and like you stated, try to figure out exactly what it did and what they used it for. Nice to see a fellow tech 'geek', so to speak.

Make that three - fellow tech geek here and I too would love to see this stuff. And in answer to the first post, more than likely some smart assed teenagers who have nothing better to do than destroy things. Pisses me off.

I have been wondering about this place ever since I first heard about it... an abandoned missile base you say?
