[Collins] 51S-1...dial drag or no?

[David Knepper]

The weighted knob on a 51S-1 will fit a KWM-2 but a weighted knob for the
KWM-2 will not fit the 51S-1.  The knobs are quite different in terms of the
inner hub design.

You can purchase the dial lock assembly from FR Radio in Japan.

Advanced Optics Ltd. through the CRA does have the weighted knob for the
51S-1 that will fit on the S-Line and KWM-2., if interested.

Thank you
