[Collins] Need information on HB KWM-1

Hi Jim,

That was a fascinating page. It brought back memories of a 20m SSB
transceiver which I designed and built in 1964, using a 7360 beam-deflection
mixer as a combined receiver front-end (as in the Squires-Sanders SS1-R) and
transmitter balanced modulator. There is a description of this radio on my
site:

This is not strictly Collins but it may be related.  I found a really great
home brew rig at Dallas HamCom.  Someone saw it and told me they thought it
was a KWM-1 clone built from an article in GE Ham News but I can't find it
in any of the copies I have.  No luck in RCA Ham Tips either.  It does have
a Collins mechanical filter.  If anyone has any information on this rig, I
would really like to know more.  Please take a look at the photos and see if
you recognize it.
