[Collins] FS: 75A-4, s/n 1056, CCA Very Good, $800

[Christopher J Galbraith]

For sale: 75A-4, s/n 1056 CCA Very Good
Price:  $800
Terms:  Pick-up or meet within 50 miles of Ann Arbor, MI or buyer pays
shipping cost including professional packing.  I really prefer an
in-person exchange to prevent damage of the receiver.

I purchased this rx from a list member last year, at this same price,
and have had lots of fun with it.  But, I am moving across the country
in the spring and can't take all of the BAs along!

I have tried to document this 75A-4 as completely as possible through
over 20 photos. An index of the photos is here:

photos show the tubes with missing shields--all of the original shields
are included)

- 75A-4 receiver, s/n 1056
- 3.1 KC mechanical filter
- CCA very good
- works FB on all bands, modes, switches crisp, controls quiet
- very nice front panel, lettering, knobs, KC dial and original band
overlay, meter not faded, nice looking rx
- cosmetic problems: paint chips, mostly on edges, sticker residue on
top/left of front panel (should be removable), minor scratches on top of
cabinet (not to metal)
- completed mechanical filter DC block update, per Collins schematic
using mil-spec inductor, modern polyester capacitor, and carbon comp.
resistors (this keeps DC off of the mechanical filters for reliability
and compatibility with newer filter types)
- includes W7FG bound manual copy
