36 cylinders all at once
Went for a ride in one a few years back. I think I paid around 200? bucks for a "ride in the back." A ride in the cockpit area was about double that.
I was the "radio man." Since I'm a radio amateur, and old enough that I HAVE and have had some of this stuff, I was giving lectures, LOL on how it operates. BC-342 / 348 receiver..........

"Command set" transmitters and receivers........these are low power units, which cover a range of frequencies, and I guess were used for local communications

and the main "long range" HF transmitter
The "stack" of units on the left are "tuning units" and plug into the transmitter--large box on the right.......in place of the blank cover plate. These units cover different frequency ranges
The separate box above the transmitter is an antenna tuning unit
