[Boatanchors] Collins 618T system info wanted

[J. Forster]

Just my opinion, but I'd try and keep the system together in the case or
not do anything that'd compromise being able to reassemble it in the case.
It's much more valuable as a complete working system than in separate
pieces.

FWIW,
-John
