Could this be like the KWM-2A / KWM2-A scenario?  Don't think I saw a reason
for it, other than it was documented.  It would seem like maybe it had to do
with the vendor/s that were contracted to manufacture them.  Hopefully
someone with firsthand knowledge will check in!

Subject: [Collins] Unusual 312B-5 and a question

Hello to all......
 
I have a question for this group:
 
My 312B-5 has an unusual front panel escutcheon.  The lettering is
"312-B5," 
not the correct 312B-5.  Also, the lettering is quite a bit  smaller than
the 
lettering on all of the other escutcheons of my other Collins  pieces.  Is 
this a factory slip-up?  Anyone have a similar  discrepancy?  The lettering 
looks "factory done".  It might be one of  a kind!?  : )
 
Anyone have any thoughts on this?  I have owned this B-5 for a long  time
and 
have always wondered about it.  I would enjoy and appreciate any  input
about 
this.  I would attach a pic, but the reflector won't accept  attachments.
 
Thanks and 73,
 
Larry    W5VHP
