[ForSale-Swap] Gold Dust Twins For Sale - Will Ship via Mover

[Michael Raskin]

For sale is a Howard Mills complete restoration Collins Gold Dust Twins 
station available as a package deal. It is available for pickup in Stuart, 
Florida.  It includes the 75A-4 Receiver and KWS-1 RF Head and Power Supply. 
Both were restored by Howard Mills, W3HM, and are in excellent condition. 
Complete documentation will be provided.  There are no dents or scratches. 
All Collins update mods done by Howard Mills. You can find other Gold Dust 
Twins but not too many that have his magic touch throughout like these units 
have.  Hate to see it go but I can’t take it with me and it's time for it to 
find a new home.

Collins 74A-4 receiver late serial number, s/n 5570, with three original 
Collins 6kHz AM, 3.1kHz SSB and 500Hz CW filters, 4:1 gear-set and knob, and 
copy of manual.  All restoration and modifications were performed by Howard 
Mills.

Collins KWS-1 transmitter, s/n 1556, with Power Supply, 4:1 gear-set and 
knob, original Collins cables, original air hose, and Collins relay.  The 
cable set is complete and labeled – easy to connect everything together. 
All restoration and modifications were performed by Howard Mills.

This is essentially a plug-and-play station but it has not been on-the-air 
for several years since moving to Stuart from Ft. Lauderdale and would need 
a careful start-up. It has been kept in an air conditioned, non-smoking 
environment. Comes with radio dust covers for both the receiver and RF deck.

$2,600 for the Gold Dust Twins.  Pick up in Stuart, Florida, or you arrange 
shipping (I suggest a moving company that will pick up, wrap in blankets and 
deliver safely).  Ask for photos, if interested.
