[Collins] Servicing the KWM-2 and S-Line

[David Knepper]

I pass this on from Stu, K2QDE - great idea.

When servicing a KWM-2 or S-Line, there are times when removing the
6AU6/7543 PTO tube for its protection is impractical. When circuit tracing
or aligning a unit a bottoms-up view makes easy viewing, so the PTO must
work. A simple tip is to grab the two rear feet and screw them into the
upper cabinet bracket behind the front panel, as the two photos show. With
the feet in place there's plenty of clearance for the tube. I now keep two
spare feet in my tool box for an occasional rack mounted unit.
