Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Jerome van der Linden, who shares an update from 4KZ Station Manager, Al Kirton:
Hi Jerome
5055 is not on the air yet.
The transmitter failed and requires some inexpensive parts which are not available in Australia. They should be here any day from the US.
We hope to be able to commence in the near future.[…]
Best wishes

Thanks for sharing this update, Jerome. For more information about 4KZ, check out this previous post.
Turned on the rig and blew a fuse? I wonder is this TX another Greek transistorised job? The WA station also blew up after initial tests. Unique radio also gone. Better to home brew a rig with 813’s and stay away from transistors
