To have KV+ rating? Or did they use a series of, say, 450VDC caps --- in a string?

I have a RF linear amplifier from the '60s with a 1,500V/1A solid-state supply. It's a choke input filter with series 450V electrolytics. I don't know what the high power broadcast transmitters use, I've never worked with them.
Incidentally, I still remember going to see the "artificial lightning" demonstration at the natural science museum in Philadelphia when I was a boy. The demo charged a large bank of capacitors, then let go when there was enough voltage to arc across the gap. During the demo, there was a huge bang, following which a block of wood in the path of the arc literally disappeared. The high-vacuum rectifier they used was about three feet tall, lit up like a bunch of 100W bulbs. Yowee!

Scary, just thinking about it. Boy, to be a tech in those days!
