Default COLLINS 75 A-3 RECEIVER/SPEAKER/MANUAL

Greetings,
I have a GC Collins 75 A-3 receiver with matching speaker & origional
manual for sale. I bought this from the origional owner who purchased
it in 1952. It has the optional extra Collins mechanical filter and
the optional FM stack. It does not have the optional crystal
calibrator. It works just fine and is a pleasure to listen to, but it
has just been sitting and I need the room. Cabinet is in passable
condition with the usual rubs and slight dings. Nothing serious on it
or the speaker. The spinner knob does have a crack by the spinner
which I used an industrial strenght cement to shore up. It is now very
strong and hardly noticeable except upon very close inspection, but
you will have to replace it if you want to restore this unit to
pristine new. I did replace the speaker wire. The old one worked, but
the insulation was very cracked & crumbly. All I did was to blow out
the dust from inside (unit was sitting for 20+ years) and fire it up
slow. Origional manual is complete and in good shape with normal
aging. Serial # is 855.

I want $500.00 cash firm for everything. I would love for someone
within driving distance of Tulsa to come pick it up. I will drive 100
miles to meet someone or deliver.

Yes, I will ship, but it will be through a professional packing outfit
and the crating/shipping charges will be steep as this thing is heavy.

Feel free to email me with any questions. I have unlimited long
distance and would be glad to call you if you would like to leave your
number in email.

73 & Happy Holidays.
