[Milsurplus] Info wanted - Collins 18S-4.

[Scott Johnson]

Racks and connectors for this bird are tough to find, I would resign to 
building a connector block.  There is also a dropping resistor in the rack 
used to reduce filament voltage on the PA and modulator tubes during standby 
periods.  I do have the manual, if you need a copy.  This transeiver has 
several parts in common with the ART-13, and was used by most airlines in 
the 50's and 60's until sideband came along.  I plucked several from DC-7's, 
the Delta installation was one 18S-4 and one 618S-4, both with 180L-2 
couplers.
