    It's Collins, must be worth a fortune!!!

    Yep, it's a Collins 18S-4 for $1,500 and quoted from the auction descripttion, "This is one of the nicest Ham Radios I have ever found!" :rofl:

    Now as you can see in my thread, I scored the identical transceiver for $80 at the Dalton,GA Hamfest 2010. :rofl:

    Basically these things are ART-13s that have crystal control only, pair of 811As modulating a single 813 with what appears to be the identical modulation transformer used in the ART-13.

    Who in their right mind would pay this nimrod $1500 for this thing!? :roll:

    Speaking of Collins..K7JRW is selling his KWS-1 and 75A-4 setup with all the trimmings. Randy is a nice guy I have spoken with him before concerning questions on Collins gear. Too bad I dont have the cash (I do but not to spend) to drive my ass to AZ and take the setup off his hands. :P
