[Boatanchors] Collins 75A-2

[DW Holtman]

Hello,

Thank to all who commented on this radio. Some very interesting thoughts. 
Most think is was "Home" labeled, which is very possible. In that case, 
someone installed a Product detector and modified the BFO for SSB which is 
not all that unusual.

Best,
