What is the difference between the "winged emblem" Collins radios and the
other kind ("round" emblem?)?

It's age, and never having had a COllins, I can never remember which came
first.

But, the reason people differentiate is becasue the change of the emblem
is an easy way of determining when the unit was built, and there are
minor design changes that came with the emblem changeover. Again I
can't remember details, but it's on the level of one has plug-in relays
and the other doesn't.

People do not desire Collins equipment with certain types of emblems,
they desire the version of the equipment that comes with the specific
emblem.

This has come up before, and I know the differences were defined the
last time the question came out, which must have been within the
past two years, if that far back. Doing a search of the newsgroup
archives at google should reveal the last time this came up, and
the internal differences.
