The KRKO Broadcast Transmitter is a Western Electric Model 6-B 1000 Watt radio transmitter used by the KRKO commercial radio station in Everett, Washington. It was donated by Cindy Hovdesven of Stanwood, Washington in 1997 and transported to the museum by Don Ostrand.

The transmitter was only only used by KRKO for a few years because it was so difficult to maintain. It was stored in a barn for several decades before it came to the museum.[1]
