But then -- you wouldn't be a member of the small group running a KW-1.
It would be nice if more of the collector-owners would actually fire

signal far outweigh those of a pretty box. Th

Have you seen the prices on these things lately? Easily on par or
above the T-368s and Desk KWs I've seen for sale. TMC made excellent
gear, and the 750 doesn't show up for sale very often.

Almost the same effect to a much lesser degree with the BC610.

The E model I have had for 11 years was acquired for very little.
And wow, have you seen prices for 100THs?

You're correct Mark. Miscalculations on my part. See, I'm not even
smart enough to own a KW-1.

Not that the KW-1 isn't a very pretty and fine Collins transmitter (duly
modified). As someon
True Todd. Still makes me wonder why a 1kw Gates or RCA (and similar)
BC units will sell for 1/5 the cost of a KW-1 these days. Not that I
want them too mind you ;) But they are certainly "brand names", and
built a lot healthier (a new term for "big iron" I made up) than a
KW-1 in my opinion.
Don is spot on, his comments reflect my experiences as well.
