This KWM-2A is in pretty nice cosmetic condition. The cabinet has been repainted and is missing the lock-screws on the lid, but aside from that the radio looks terrific and is very clean. It was serviced by Collins Rebuilders (K2LRC) in 2014. Unfortunately, it is going to need some more work. We powered it up and my tech noticed smoke coming from near the power connector. We immediately disconnected it. Neither a power supply and microphone are included in the sale. With over 1,000 items in our inventory and new items added daily, you’re sure to find what you need! The bottom line is this… You’ll receive your item on time and in perfect condition regardless of how big, heavy, or delicate your item may be! WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE SALE: You will only receive what is shown in the photographs. If you do not see it in the photos, it is likely not included in the sale. That includes manuals, packaging, power cords, etc. ABOUT US: Our company, Ham & HiFi, is located in Sparks, NV. Everyone in the shop is a ham operator and some have been licensed for more than 50 years.

This HW-101 was included in a large estate we recently acquired. Like most of the equipment in this collection, this piece was found in storage. It’s extremely dirty/dusty inside! My guess is that it hasn’t been used in years (possibly decades) and as a result will most likely require service. Further, we simply don’t have the time to test everything right now given our tech’s limited availability.

This Heathkit HW-101 looks pretty good with a nice cabinet and front panel. The radio was putting out only 40 watts or so during our testing, and then it went up in smoke.

This winged-emblem KWM-2A (SN unknown) is in fair cosmetic condition. The cabinet and trim ring have been crudely repainted. Unfortunately, the serial number tag has fallen off, but this is probably an earlier unit as I don’t see any plug-in relays or teflon wire. The stock crystals all appear to be present. I apologize for not taking it out of the cabinet for photographs, but I’ve peeked through and I do some replaced capacitors. No other accessories are included with the sale. This is part of a large collection we recently acquired, which consisted of mostly Collins and Drake gear. The gentleman had acquired the equipment over the past decade with the hope of one day restoring it and creating a vintage contest station. We picked the equipment up from a climate-controlled storage where everything was individually boxed and had sitting for years. On top of that, we have no idea when they were last used before he had acquired it. We’ll guarantee it to not be DOA, but it will certainly need some level of service to bring it back to factory spec. This may include (but limited to): replacement of electrical components (capacitors, resistors, tubes, etc), cleaning of controls, alignment, and so forth. If you’re not qualified to do this work yourself, we’re happy to provide you with a list of qualified technicians. If you prefer one carrier over the other, please make that request when paying for the item. Rest assured, you’ll receive your item in excellent condition! WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE SALE: You will only receive what is shown in the photographs. If you do not see it in the photos, it is likely not included in the sale. That includes manuals, packaging, power cords, accessories, and so on. The item “Collins KWM-2A Ham Radio Transceiver SN Unknown (untested for restoration)” is in sale since Wednesday, March 17, 2021. This item is in the category “Consumer Electronics\Radio Communication\Ham, Amateur Radio\Ham Radio Transceivers”. The seller is “hamandhifi” and is located in Sparks, Nevada.

For parts or restoration. I jumper-ed the power switch and the unit powered up. Receive functions working but the switches are dirty and takes a little “tweaking” to get the signal full strength. Good reception on 40m. The only bands I checked. Mode switch needs cleaning. No output on transmit. Both CW and SSB filters are installed. Missing one rubber foot anchor. No cables or accessories. There could be other issues with the unit that are yet to be discovered. It will eventually need servicing, could be soon or later.
