It would appear that in the next couple of months. I will be put over the
sale and redistribution of some very nice Collins equipment. A KWS1
transmitter and a 51S1 receiver among other things.

They belonged to a silent key and I will be selling off the equipment for a
fair, realistic price as the sone of the silent key requested that I try to
find the equipment homes that value the equipment for what it is rather
than its monetary value.

The problem is that although the equipment has...

unused Collins equipment

What other tricks are out there for hot rodding tube radios? It seems that
AGC can be a common obstacle to overcome with these radios, but I suspect
that may be tunable/has been tuned by people in the past. Any other cool
combinations anyone wants to post?

I wonder if any of these ever actually sold.... Robyn of course made CB
radios in the late 60s and into the 70s. But in the September 1971 issue
of CQ Magazine, they advertised "The Digital 500" for a mere $895 (around
$5300 in todays dollars)

Obviously they built a prototype - for creating the ad photo. Might have
just been an empty box too...

But I wonder if any were sold. I cannot find a single reference anywhere
to this.
