Hi Lefty! Yes, the Collins were very nice indeed! We used Collins equipment (transmitter and console) in our FM radio station back in the Seventies. Even though the station has been bought and moved, I think they are still using the same Transmitter! My two older brothers each owned a Hallicrafters SW Radio when I was growing up, both were nice units, but not of the quality of the Hammarlund. I also own a KLH Model 18 FM Stereo Tuner.
