Here is WN6HPF running a crystal-controlled (due to budgetary constraints) HW-16 in 1974/1975. All that power was funneled to a roof-mounted trap vertical antenna. Numerous contacts were made, anyway...
N6IP running 'em in CQP 1978. That's a TS-520 driving a borrowed 30L1. A triband quad and dipoles helped a bit.
Moving up in the world, with a TS-940 and half-kW amp. The Mosley PRO-67 yagi seemed to absorb as much power as it radiated, however.
By 1998, K1D, K2D, and K3D have arrived and N6IP changed into K6XX. This photo, printed in January 1999 QST, shows K1D and K2D participating in "Kid's Day". That's a TS-930 to an AL-1200 and a TS-950 driving an A/P 91b amplifier. Outside, a F-12 C-4XL, a flagpole vertical for 80m/160m, and miscellaneous wires and temporary structures directed RF--mostly into the adjacent cliff. Time to move QTH!
The new century brought a new QTH. While dealing with paperwork and contracts for building a proper new shack (with an accompanying house), this true shack served as an operating position. Too hot in the summer and cold in the winter, the mountain top antennas outperformed anything previously available.
Here the new shack is under construction. The bench is pulled away from the walls 24 inches for access. The frame is standard dimensional fir and the top is two layers of plywood topped with red oak. After this is finished, what will I use as an excuse?!
In early 2003, the shack looked like this:
The left side of the bench, showing three "seats"
Here's the other half, with the main position and a small position at the far right.

Close-up of the three main operating positions. On the left is "Station 2". In the center is "Station 3" with its vintage gear. On the right is station 1.
By 2005, construction was long finished, "permanent" antennas (are there such things?) were installed, and the shack looked like this:
This is station 1A and 1B. It consists of an FT-1000MP "Field" to an Alpha 91b and a FT-1000MP mkV to an AL-1500.
Here's Station 2A and 2B. This one is a pair of 1000MPs to an Alpha 76A or an AL-1200.
Here's Station 3. Lots of junk here! There's a TS-950, a Drake C-Line, an FT-857, a DX-100B/R390 combo, and miscellaneous VHF/UHF rigs. Only one of these HF rigs may be operated at one time, through a manual switch. The '950 & '857 communicate their band data to the master antenna routing system.
And Station 4. This is a TS-930 and a 500W solid-state amplifier.
