[Boatanchors] Collins scope?

[manualman at juno.com]

Makes no sense to me unless someone's brain is all screwed up and cash is
burning a hole in their pocket. Repaint the unit, change the knobs, maybe
diddle with the circuitry, but in the end, it's just a masked piece of
Heathkit gear. It isn't Collins and never will be.
