Collins 75A-4 Receiver with 4:1 Tuning Knob, (3) New Dave Curry Filters, New Tubes, Capacitors, & Alignment Late S/N 5202

  This receiver belongs to a close friend of mine. He built his Collection of Collins gear over several years looking for the highest serial numbers, and only in excellent condition.

 This receiver is very late (serial number 5202) and is in excellent condition. A 5000 Plus Serial number has all the service bulletins and updates done at the factory, which is why post 5K serial numbered units are the most desirable.

This receiver has:

The 4:1 Reduction drive and Spinner Knob

(3) Brand New David Curry (Rockwell Collins Mechanical filters) installed. 300 hZ, CW, 2.1 SSB, and the 6 KC AM filters

Original Collins Mechanical Crystal filters are failing due to the age and materials used at the time which are breaking down.

A New complete Tube Kit has been purchased from Frank Krize, and installed.

Many of the critical Electrolytic capacitors have been replaced with new high quality capacitors.

A 3 Conductor Power Cord has been installed to make the receiver safe and up to today's electrical standards.

The receiver has been aligned by my friend who has a PHD in Electronics and is a very accomplished Technician.

  The cost of the Curry Filters is $675.00

  The cost of the Tube Kit is $165.00 Delivered

  I am sure a complete alignment would cost about $250.00

Total Cost of updates  $1090.00

While my price is at the top of the curve, when you consider all the necessary work is done, and the new filters, This plug and play receiver is well worth the asking price.

All the work was done very recently and I double checked the operation. Everything appears to be working great.

I will include a Copy of the manual at no charge. If you are interested in an original manual, Please contact me at the time of purchase.

Also included, is the type of packing and shipping you cannot get from a packaging service. I have been packing and shipping heavy vintage Radio gear for 30 years and I buy the special boxes and material needed to assure this receiver will arrive undamaged. This also includes private insurance which is far superior to what Fed Ex of UPS provides.

  I also have the matching 312A-1 Lighted speaker for sale in another listing.
