[Collins] W3HM Restoration (Howard Mills)

[Aidehua@aol.com]

I recently had, what I thought was a decent specimen of a 51J4, restored by 
Howard Mills.  When I received it the other day, I had to do a "double take" 
because the receiver looked like new, inside and out.  And electrically, it 
compares in sensitivity to a restored EAC R390A.  The frequency readout is 
dead on and the audio is superb.

I decided to get the matching cabinet, which I did not own previously.  Next 
to my 32V2 cabinet, it looks identical.  I thought it a wise investment since 
I have this radio on a desk and will probably never part with it.  

Conclusion?  Howard Mills does a top-rate job on complete restoration of the 
rigs we all know and love (i.e., 51Jx, 75Ax, 32-Vx, etc.)  He'll make your 
"junkyard dog radio" look like new.  Feel free to e-mail me with any 
questions.  Howard can be contacted  at w3hm@nfis.com
