Collins G-133F questions
Hi to all,
Anyone got any info on a converted Collins 51S1 for airborne use by Military surveillance aircraft. It was done by an outfit known as LTV I think. It is in a rack mount with locking handles. A few extra controls added in different shapes so that they could be identified in the dark... At one time, I did find a site that had pictures of the rig, mounted in a DC-3. So far, I haven't been able to locate this site the second time. This is all I have been able to find about this receiver. Any help appreciated Thanks to all responses -- Mike-K5VSE Formerly WB6VSE, senior tech, amateur division SBE/Linear Systems, Watsonville, CA All out going mail scanned with Norton AntiVirus 2003 On 3.922 nightly |

Mike, Fair Radio's catalog for 1980 says "Set is a Collins 51@1 receiver repackaged by LTV-Temco for mil-airborne use with extended lower frequency range, jack for 14-600 kHz LF tuner, AM BFO, and extra electronic filtering." etc etc. Is that what you wanted? They give a few more specs, tube counts, voltages required, and of course the price (back then HI). 73, .... Martin VE3OAT |
