[Boatanchors] Digital Dial for Collins Radios

[n2lxm at juno.com]

Good Evening All, 

         I finally have finished cleaning and servicing a Collins 75S-3c
receiver. I added a full set of extra crystals for S/W and other Amateur
bands and CW Filters. Great radio, plays well, I also took the time to
build a Toroid audio filter(  Circa 1950 ) and used a 516F power supply
cabinet for a speaker enclosure. After a touch up on the alignments the
radio is set to go up on my operating area. Now for the question. has
anyone added a Digital Readout to one of these radios. I took a frequency
counter and checked the VFO output. it reads in the 2.6 Mhz range. So
will one of the inexpensive digital Kits work with this type of IF set
up.
