[Premium-Rx] COLLINS HF8054-A info required.

[GandalfG8 at aol.com]

Hi Dave
 
That was a very good buy and I half wondered if it might be you  who bought 
it.
 
You won't have known until now just how lucky you were, I had  a bid set up 
right until the closing minutes but with the clear  out moving slowly 
enough as it is a very reluctant does of "common sense"  finally prevailed:-)
 
One particular reason for my interest was that it was always likely to be a 
 good price due to those "missing boards", although admittedly I wasn't 
expecting  it to stay quite that good, but I'm not convinced as yet  that there 
actually are any missing boards, and certainly not as many  as the gaps 
might seem to suggest.
 
That looks pretty much to me like the board configuration of a  basic AM 
and SSB 8054A with two channels fitted plus a single  audio card, but will 
need to check and will come back to you directly on  that later.
 
I take it this means you won't be wanting my 8054A and 8060s after  all?:-)
 
Regards

Hi  All,

I've just acquired a cosmetically nice, but unfortunately  incomplete 
Collins HF8054-A receiver. As far as I can tell at the moment,  it's 
missing the Audio A, IF filter, and Sub carrier PCB's, plus at least  
another one whose job I don't know as yet.

I won't have the  receiver in my possession until at least next week, so 
will know more  about it then.

I've put some pictures of the receiver showing the  condition, and the 
missing PCB's on my web site at  http://www.ra1792.co.uk/radios/8054a/
So you can see what is  missing.

I've also acquired the matching HF8060 pre selector, but this  is 
supposed to be complete, so hopefully won't need to much work to get it  
going....

To sum up, I'm looking for any info, plus a source of the  missing PCB's.
I know it's a long shot, but you never know until you  ask.....

Thanks in  advance,
Dave.S.
