 Hi Guys:
I support Dutch' effort on this project (if anything, at least in spirit). Bottom line is they don't make 'em anymore. This is probably one of your last chances to get a NEWLY MANUFACTURED gear set. 
I was involved with a project that involved a cabinet company making new cabinets that had been discontinued a year or so before. This was for the SP-600 rcvr. I even gave the customers a break to the tune of having them just pay the cost of the cabinet plus whatever overhead expenses were involved. Still had some folks griping. No matter. I got my two cabinets and everyone got theirs. This will probably the last great run of Premier cabinets ever for the Hammarlund (and some Collins units). Hey, I've heard they have been selling them on ebay for twice the amount I sold them. 
Please think about it: this is a rare opportunity to obtain a new (albiet repro) item for your prized Collins 75A4 (which if it doesn't have one, you should get one). 
JMHO.

(note that I have no monetary interest in this project. Just supporting a great hobby!)

the price is $196 each, this is not counting those of you that wanted to BID
or were telling me what you could afford that's not the way this works.
Note: I have not ordered them yet but do need a firm count to get a better
idea of how many we actually want to order, if we can order more then the
price will go down so here is what I am asking, knowing the ceiling price is
$196 I need to know how many will actually order the gear sets after I have
a firm number I will announce the final price, if it's still to high then we
will scrap this plan and we can go back to bidding for them on eBay.
