Shipment came through today A-OK, I have to admit that was the most professional / beautiful packing job.
I wish everyone would pack so nicely. I can’t thank you enough for all your time and effort in doing this so nicely and protecting
Your dad’s equipment. I love it all and it will be well cared for in a my collection and appreciated. The equipment is in such nice shape, I would have Had to jump in a time machine back to 1972 to get an original rig that nice. Usually the early rigs are really beat up and suffer from dirt and corrosion.
This one is like factory, doubt if it was much better back in 1972. Thank you so much.
And the Collins will still be a nice rig. A bit more bare bones than the Yaesu you had but the brand name and the condition make that an especially nice collector's piece. The KWM2A was popular going to military and diplomatic units because it was a rugged, stable, and easy to operate radio, and it had the pull out band tray so crystals could be easily added/changed to operate on any HF frequency. Does that radio have the full set of band crystals like the Yaesu did?
