[Collins] Help needed with 30S1 lock and keys

[David Knepper]

Just got back from the Collins Radio Center and am here to report that in
fact the keys are different in the two 30S-1 units that we have at the CRC.

Whiel looking over these 30S-1 units,  I made an interesting observation.
The later unit (much higher serial number) has meters needles that do not
have those characteristic pointers.  That is, the meter needles on both
meters are perfectly straight from the earlier 30S-1 unit that has those
"spade" looking tips.

Even the Collins fonts on the meter faces are dissimilar.

Just a bit of trivia, I guess.

If you ever in these parts, please stop by the Collins Radio Center.

Thanks
