[Collins] 75A-2 new to me

[WA9VRH Larry]

Hi Glen & Jerry,

After rooting though some of the things that I have scanned for the archives
I came across
a manual titled Mechanical Filter Conversion Kit 354A-1 For use with Collins
51J-2 and 51J-3 Receivers
A quick scan of it did not reveal any mention of 75A-2/75A-3.  I did a
search of the CCA archives for a
filter conversion kit for 75A-2/75A-3 and did not find any new information.
I also did a Google search on
the same with no better results.... Except that I found that Collins made
adapters for mechanical filters for the 75A-1!
Being still pretty new to Collins stuff (and I need to go read my 75A-1
manual) it was a pretty neat find.
Do either of you know (or anyone on the list) know if the Mechanical Filter
Conversion Kit 354A-1 was also possibly
used on the 75A-2/75A-3?

I will also pose this same question to the CCA reflector.
The Mechanical Filter Conversion Kit 354A-1 will also soon be available on
the CCA website.
FYI there were I believe 4 different Mechanical Filter Conversion Kits for
the 75A-1 as you could only
get one filter in a conversion kit. (I stand corrected if I read the
information wrong)
