[Boatanchors] just acquired Collins 51J-4

[Henry Mei'l's]

Any consoling words? Couldn't fight my addiction to BA receivers / overrode my resolution to NOT
buy anymore of them . Gave up on loose women so I guess I'm entitled to this lesser vice;0). 
Got it for about  $75 (the rcvr) -- works on the lower bands (not well) and will obviously
demand band-switch contact cleaning, big time alignment and probably some tube and cap replacements. 
Luckily, I have most if not all tubes in stock. Had an R-388 many years ago which had much the same panel
appearance.(Downloaded the 51J-4 manual from BOMA -- looks pretty conventional for the 1960's.)
