[Boatanchors] Update

[David Knepper]

The CRA maintains a large collection of Collins-related materials that are available to members and nonmembers alike, either scanned to a PDF file and then forwarding via email.  However, we will mail a hard copy for a nominal fee.  Our collection has grown extensively over the last 30 years and someday we hope someday  to have a running inventory of our collection.  Please ask – we might have something that you are looking for.

The CRA book store still has available the following:  :  Art Collins:  Radio Wizard by Ben Stearns,  the hardcopy 75 Years of Innovation produced by Rockwell-Collins and the KWM-2 Guidebook prepared by myself and Ted Craven, W0TCW, and the Collins Compendium of some of the articles that were in the Collins Journal for the past 30 years.  Price for each book is only $25 which includes postage in the USA.  Check or PayPal accepted.

The construction of the new-fresh CRA website is coming along nicely thanks to a team of four highly skilled individuals who anticipate completion sometime on or before July 31.   A new domain name has been selected.  Stay tuned.  Of course, your ideas and suggestions are always appreciated on what you expect from a Collins radio website – not a lot of clutter and superfluous materials that you have to “wade through!” to get to where you are going.  

If you are passing through the Johnstown, PA area,  please do stop by for a tour of the Collins Radio Center/Museum by appointment only.

Remember, the CRA maintains a large inventory of new and used, old stock Collins parts, etc., please inquire if you are looking for your special need.
The CRA can also assist you to restore-repair-service your Collins.   

Remember to post your messages to me and not to the subscribers of these two mail lists  if you have a question or comment.  collinsradio at comcast.net  I am also available by phone in the evenings, preferably, at (814) 487-4403

Now go out and enjoy Field Day this weekend.  No CRA net this Sunday.

Thank you
