I have for sale a very nice WE Collins 51S-1 receiver. This is a
nongoverment receiver with original 51S-1 cabinet and manual. It has not
been used much. All knobs are tight and show no slack. The chassis is bright
and shiny and very clean. The front panel is perfect and the cabinet is
very nice, a few small scuffs and places where a couple of small scratches
have been touched up with the correct paint.
I would rate it at least a CCA Very Good. It works super on all bands. It is
all original except there has been a small micro switch mounted on the rear
panel so that the AGC can be turned on and off for CW operation. There may
have been a capacitor added to the AGC circuit because SSB reception is
great. NO popping on loud signals. Also sounds great on AM broadcast
stations. The SN is 25XX. It does not have a dial brake. Vintage is around
1966. Digital pictures are available upon request. Price is $1475 Plus
shipping for 79602.
Thanks, Charlie Hugg, K5MBX
