Adam, you must remember that Collins Radio Company never was considered a
major supplier of amateur radio equipment.  Perhaps, less than 7 percent of
all production at Collins was devoted to the amateur radio line.  For a
fascinating glimpse into the life of Art Collins and his company, pick up a
copy of Arthur Collins - Radio Wizard written by Ben W. Stearns:
