Hello and I hope someone will be able to help me out...I have 2 old
Collins 75a2's....One rig has a few parts missing internally,mainly
tubes and crystal shielding...The second one powers up and has a very
weak audio...the BFO changes pitch but no sigs are coming thru.. just a
very low audio...All tubes in this rig check OK...Cases on both are
about a 7+ outta ten and both would be good restore items I
think...Problem is I have no room for them and would like to to sell
off.as 2 for the price of one or seperatley...Don't have any idea of
what to ask for them....Don't want to cheat anybody but don't want it
stuck to me either...Can anybody give a sight unseen ballpark figure of
what these might be worth...Have a local ham fest this weekend and sure
would like to have them on the table.....Also have 2 spare PTO
units...One appears to be new and never connected...not sure of the
other one...Any idea also what these should be worth....Thanks for any
help or advice anyone can give me.....Wish I had the time to try and
resurrect these but as of now just need to move them on to someone who
can use and appreciate them.....Best of 73's
