[Collins] Pre War Collins gear

[John Barnwell]

I see much discussion regarding "A" and "S" Line gear, but never anything with regards to the Pre War 1930's Collins gear. Are there owners/collectors out there who might actually use this gear from time to time, or is it mostly tucked away in a static display for simply admiring. I have a keen interest in these early Collins transmitters from the 30W to the 45A and would like to hear from anyone who has a similar interest in these early units. Please feel free to contact me directly at radioniner at yahoo.com, thank you. John Barnwell
