[K3PZN-List] Collins Rx

[Curt Milton]

Andy

Interesting - since your employer is connected to Hallicrafters (Northrop bought 
them a few decades ago (before they were NG), and our Rolling Meadows facility 
was the Hallicrafters factory!) you just might have to purchase it.  Bill is in 
a 'weakened' state since he just brought a big box home, and I have my hands 
full (and the shelf too) with a new large rig I just obtained.  A little on its 
history is here:

sounds like you need a course in ancient radio manufacturers!  A Collins might 
be worth the ebay fees and shipping - a Hallicrafters someone might drive a 
couple hours for if we listed it someplace, and this one is higher end than 
their SWL receivers.

have been used by a cab dispatcher, maybe)

Hi Andy;

That big receiver may be a Hallicrafters S-36.

Your beam covers 6m, so you're all set!!
