[ForSale-Swap] Collins gear for sale

[Lane Zeitler]

I have the following items for sale, sorry but it is best offer since I have 
been away from the horse trading arena for a long time. All items are sold 
as-is only. I have pix of everything but the quality is not that of a 
digital camera. These were all taken with an old 35mm and then developed 
onto a cd.

75A4 rcvr s/n 342, no optional filters. 160 meter band is blank on the dial 
drum but the rig receives fine on that band, strange. This has the matching 
270G spkr which has a lot of light surface rust on the top of the it. No 
manual. seems to rcv very very well. Pretty clean on the inside except the 
spkr looks like it has 45 years of dust built up on the inside of the 
cabinet. Very thick layer of dust. Rcvr very clean on the inside.

KWS-1 xmtr, s/n 1497. I have not tested this but it is from the same estate 
and according to the son it was all operational up until the OM passed away. 
The son said that it sounded like an airplane was landing in this dad's 
radio room when this unit was used. The top lid of the xmtr is scratched up 
a lot, like he had the rcvr sitting on top of it. No manual. The power 
supply overall looks pretty good. The inside of the xmtr looks very very 
clean. This also comes with (6) spare 4cx250b's, (3) spare 4cx350a's, and 
(4) 4x150a's. Also have an E-V model 630 mic and what appears to be the 
outboard t/r relay that is needed to operate these as a unit, also have the 
blower hose. Looks like all of the power cords are there.

51J-3 or J-4. I do not know for sure what it is but I think it is the J-4 
since the BFO knob also has a 6.3, and 1 position to select the optional 
mechanical filters. It has a total of 18 tubes and one socket that is blank 
that looks like it is for a converter or something. I have three 51J3 
manuals for this. I think one is original. It rcvs very well. It has both 
the top and bottom dust covers. Also has the 75A4 style case. S/N on this 
unit is 1444. It has both  the 3.1 and6.0 Collins mechanical filters 
installed numbers are 500B31 and 500B60. This also comes with the 312A-1 
spkr model 229 according to the name tag. The spkr cabinet is in dire need 
of a good paint job. the spkr does not have the clock or light installed.

KWM-1 s/n 789. I have NOT tested this but it LOOKS just as good or better 
than the rest of the gear. It comes with the 70K-1 s/n 922, the 399B-2 dx 
adapter, 13C-1 crystal unit, 516F-1 supply, and mobile Collins supply with 
no model number on it, also what may be the stock hand mic. The mic included 
matches the mic that I saw on the internet Collins pages but it is a plastic 
body, is this original??? sorry no manuals at all for this which is why I 
was afraid to fire it up but the son said that the dad used it a lot.

And that is all. I can ship all of it at the buyers expense, even the KWS-1 
but it will not only take some time to pack it but it will definately cost a 
lot to ship. I can pack it to survive UPS no problem but it will not come 
cheaply.

I am taking offers on this stuff. I have tried to look around the internet 
to see what it is worth and the prices I have seen vary widely.

About the pictures, I can send them to you as an email attachment but if you 
are not really interested then please do ask for them since it takes some 
time to send them.

Feel free to email me with any questions, I will answer them as best as I 
can. I did not know the owner but according to the son, who wants to remain 
out of the loop, his dad used all of this stuff and only had one new rig 
which was an Icom 745.

I much prefer email since I work two jobs and am not home very much but I 
check it often.
