[Milsurplus] [Boatanchors] Digital Dial for Collins Radios

[Glen Zook]

I added the AADE digital readout a couple of years ago to my 75S-3A.  It works great!  The cost for the kit was around $60 and I used a cabinet from some old computer switch that I had around.

I finally have finished cleaning and servicing a Collins 75S-3c receiver. I added a full set of extra crystals for S/W and other Amateur bands and CW Filters. Great radio, plays well, I also took the time to build a Toroid audio filter(  Circa 1950 ) and used a 516F power supply cabinet for a speaker enclosure. After a touch up on the alignments the radio is set to go up on my operating area. Now for the question. has anyone added a Digital Readout to one of these radios. I took a frequency counter and checked the VFO output. it reads in the 2.6 Mhz range. So will one of the inexpensive digital Kits work with this type of IF set up.
