Collins 75A-4 Receiver with 4:1 Tuning Knob & (3) Original Filters Late S/N 5686

  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 5686) and is in Very Good 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) Original Collins folters installed installed. 800 hZ, CW, 3.1 SSB, and the 6 KC AM filters

The Electrolytic capacitors are all original and there are no signs of any electrical modifications

The power cord is original.

I double checked the operation. Everything appears to be working great.

Overall, This receiver is in nice shape. There is a rub mark on the top as I show in the pictures and the bottom panel. Everything else looks great.

The original owner made a modification to the bottom panel. Underneath, three slots have been put in the panel behind both front feet. I assume for additional ventilation.

 if one would replace with a unmodified bottom panel, it would be really great. If not, the modification is not visible, and you will have a very late 75A-4 with all the factory mods and bulletins done.  (And good ventilation)

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.
