Has important service bulletins installed along with the black beauties
and many of the micas replaced. Photos to interested parties upon
request. $1400 + shipping in CONUS approximately $75. Thanks, Bob...

Just an FYI:

sell your collins on ebay, no one here is going to shell out that kind
of money for dinosaur equipment that drifts!

You would be surprised. The fact that it is dinosaur is what makes it
attractive.

I'm sure he would be surprised. for all the hi tech gadgetry in the latest
and greatest, I would trade all my gear for the station of a friend that has
a complete A-line. Everything from the KWS-1/75A-4 and the station comsole
with clock etc. There is nothing like spinning the sliky smooth tuning
control on an old time Collins PTO. Better yet no chuf chuf from the $#$#&#45
&*#$&(*# Synth SIGH BUt I'd have to win the lottery to be able to afford
them now

I'm with you. My brand spankin' new TS2000X has discrete synthesizer steps
when tuning fast- and doesn't look near as cool as my R-4C with the lights
out. All my BA gear gets more use than the off-shore "stuff".

"Chuff chuff"? What kind of rig are you talking about. I've had
numerous Kenwoods and Icoms and never heard a "chuff chuff".

And their dials are smoother than silk. Silk is pretty rough by
comparison. :-)

I will let the "dinosaur" roam for $1200 + shipping in a professionally
double boxed container. Then you can enjoy Jurassic Radio in your own
shack.
