Description

A CLASSIC FROM COLLINS -- KWM2 TRANSCEIVER
NO RESERVE
COVERS 80 THROUGH 10 METERS
HERE'S AN OLDIE BY COLLINS -- THE POPULAR KWM2 TRANSCEIVER.  IT'S THE WINGED EMBLEM UNIT.
NICE CABINET. NO REAL DINGS, DENTS OR MISSING PAINT.  CABINET IS TRUE AND SQUARE. TOOK PIX FOR YOUR REVIEW.
ALL KNOBS ARE BRIGHT AND SHINY AND TURN AS THEY SHOULD. PTO IS SMOOTH. METER DEFLECTS. DIAL LIGHTS DIDN'T COME ON SO THEY NEED ATTENTION.
UNIT REQUIRES COLLINS 516F2 POWER SUPPLY OR EQUIVALENT -- NOT INCLUDED IN SALE.
BROUGHT UNIT UP SLOWLY. ALL TUBES LIT FINE. TURNED UP AF AND RF GAIN AND HAD LOUD BACKGROUND NOISE. TURNED BANDSWITCH THROUGH SEVERAL BANDS. NOTHING CHANGED. HAD BACKGROUND SOUND ON ALL BANDS, BUT DID NOT HEAR ANY SIGNALS. TURNED PTO ACROSS THE BANDS -- AGAIN, NO CHANGE. SO WHILE THE RECEIVER POWERS UP, IT DOES NOT GET ANY RECEPTION.
TRIED TRANSMIT. NO METER INDICATION OF GRID DRIVE. TRIED SEVERAL BANDS -- SAME RESULT.  COULD HEAR RELAYS KICK IN, BUT NO POWER OUT.
MOVED BANDSWITCH BACK/FORTH SEVERAL TIMES TO "CLEAN" IT.  TRIED AGAIN.  STILL NO RECEPTION OR TRANSMIT.
SO THIS UNIT -- WHILE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD -- DOES NOT TRANSMIT OR RECEIVE.
AS SUCH IT IS BEING SOLD "AS IS" AND NOT WORKING WITH NO RETURNS.
WHILE IT'S LISTED "FOR PARTS" IT'S TOO NICE OF A UNIT TO PART OUT.  ONE OF YOU WILL GET IT ON THE BENCH AND HAVE IT WORKING.
AGAIN, NON WORKING UNIT WITH NO RETURNS.
WILL SHIP FEDEX. INTERNATIONAL VIA THE GLOBAL SHIPPING CENTER.
