Hi All:

I have decided to part with a late model KWM-2A that needs some 
work.  It has been sitting around here for at least ten years and I 
just don't see the time in the foreseeable future when I can tackle 
this project.

 From looking at the EXCITER markings on the panel I believe that 
this is a KWM-2 that was modified with the extra crystal deck and 
switch.  It appears to have been done by someone who knew what he (or 
she) was doing.  However the dial escutcheon has the "KWM-2A" 
engraved into it as opposed to a sticker applied over the "KWM-2" 
which was the common practise.

It is pretty much complete except for the following:

PA cage cover
Cabinet
Rubber feet and hardware
K2 and K4 (the plug-in relays)
5 tubes (6146B (2), 6AZ8, 6BN8, 6EB8
3 pointer knobs
main tuning knob.
one of the Nylon nuts that holds the metal bracket on the back of the meter.
all crystals (except the USB and LSB crystals).
Calibrator crystal.

This KWM-2A does not appear to be a military veteran and cosmetically 
speaking the front panel  is in pretty good  condition.  With the 
proper work and a good cleaning this radio could be made into a 
nice-looking working unit.  I am asking $500.00 plus shipping for it.

If interested please reply by e-mail.

73,

Michael, W1RC
