[Milsurplus] [MRCA] KWM-2A video

[Gene Smar]

 Nice radio, Ray, even after all these years.  I recall Collins adverts in QST in the 60s and really liked the appearance of the front panels.  Theirs and Drake's were awesome examples of great industrial design. Thanks.

Just put up a video of a Collins KWM-2A that I looked at for a friend. This radio was sent thru DEPO (Tobyhanna)back in 1988 and put in storage until recently. Went thru it and did some contact and control cleaning but other then that it worked without issue. Called it a Time Capsule in the video because its rear these days to find a KWM-2A that’s not got a thousand hours on it.
 
Not that I get involved in the sales aspect of this stuff but think this radio sold for around twelve hundred dollars with the power supply, crystal pack, microphone and Samsonite Suite case.
 
I have my own KWM-2A and have bought and sold them before but never saw one this clean before. They are a good SSB radio but not so good for CW and have no capability for AM at all.

You will also get the opportunity to hear K4NYW, W2HX and N3KCB in the video and thanks for their assistance.
