[SMCARA] Collins Lovers

[Tom Clarke]

For all you Collins aficionados, I have the following items available:

1.  Collins Service Compendium for the S Line and the M Line. (32S and 
KWM-2) from the Collins Collectors Association archives.

2.  Copies of all Service Bulletins and Service Information Letters for 
the KWM-1 and KWM-2/2A Transceivers; 516F2 and PM-2 power supplies; 
312B4/5 Station Controls; 180S1 Antenna Tuner; and the 75A/32V series 
receiver/transmitters.

3.  A binder full of Collins Collectors Association "Signal Magazine". 
These are treasure troves of descriptions, hints, work arounds, repair 
information, etc.  There is also a lot of Collins history and 
descriptions of rigs that never made it into production.  Many articles 
are written by the engineers at Cedar Rapids who actually worked with 
Art Collins (W0CXX, SK) and designed and built these beauties.

If you are interested in working on or using these classic rigs, these 
are a must have in your library,

Your cost is my cost! Nada, zip, no coin of the realm needed. I 
downloaded and printed these from the CCA website or other websites. 
These are all in standard Office Depot, 3 ring binders. More to follow 
as I sort through my attic, ham shack, and garage.
