Such iconic beautiful S Line. Odd I once applied to work for Collins, failed, but couple years later working at NASA tracking station working on Collins tracking and timing equipment. Mid 70s.

Thanks for the video, picture quality looks good

Any issue with Total Harmonic Distortion?

Samsung phones have much better cameras

So damn romantic...

Quality seems decent. Those motor generators are definitely load testers.

Hi what kinda of yellow cable is that connected to the cabinet id like to find one thanks for any help

As a kid, I loved getting such radios to play with, and I was usually able to get them working again, if they were mostly complete.

take off...

А на 3МГц у вас слышно русских радиохулиганов?

Good job

Very kool

Nice! I spy a urc119 in the middle rack.

I used that terminal and the MSC-64 in the mid 1980s when I was stationed in Eastern Turkey. I would like to get a hold of one of those terminals myself.

Thanks a lot ! HPE C U AGN VY SOON, 73 DE F8CMO

Be aware that many of these sets are provided with radium-containing paint for the glow in the dark lettering on the front panels and are therefore still radioactive.

Capitalistic junk. Soviet radios were better.

As I learned, they were called angry 9 by the brits because they weren't so reliable on the field.

I have one in my 1951 (restored) M38. Back in the mid 60s, I was a new ham and a member of Army MARS. One day I came home to find multiple large crates in the back drive delivered from Ft. Sheridan; a complete GRC-9 station with power supplies, generator, radios, canvas bags, and antennas, packed for deck shipping. After several hours, I had the basic radio assembled in the basement, powered by 2 spare car batteries and the vibrator PS, and connected to our random length end fed antenna. Using the leg key, I made several CW contacts, the furthest being Wyoming from suburban Chicago. Much, much later I found the M38 and reacquired a GRC-9 system with the correct mount. Great fun!

Good job

I could see the dollars getting sucked into your power meter the instant that filament breaker was thrown…. Yikes

Early zenith televisions had a large drum type tuner similat to this.

The wiring looks like a Spaghetti MESS. It might be clean but it looks very primitive.. LOL..

Well, it looks like you did a real FB job on that, so hats off to you! 😊 I would really love to own one of those, and in the past tried to get one, up until I learned that it did not have 40 or 80 m! I’ve seen the sunspot cycle so bad, that it would turn into a one band radio for sure. I have never understood why Collins would not have included 40 or 80 m.

Nice job Ray. Looking at the capacitors it looked like you also replaced what appear to be two "postage stamp" mica capacitors. How did you determine they had to be replaced? Mike N2MS

Great work restoring a vintage Collins rig. Mack, W4AX (the guy that purchased your URC-94)

Well done Ray! 73 VK6ADA

Good job

Great restoration of a classic. Here in Nevada,Ham and HiFi had several Collins prototypes of tge KWM1 that were given to Collins engineers (who were hams) to test them at their stations

I worked at CPI (Computer Peripherals Inc.) and then later LMS (LASER MAGNETIC STORAGE) on that tape drive back in the 80's. At the Valley Forge PA location. It was called the Keystone tape drive.

Good job

This not have LSB

I haven't seen a 129 in over thirty years. I maintained the unit at SAC HQ Command Post in 1989-91. Nice piece of gear. You could also transmit the alphabet phonetically via the keyboard. Great looking setup you have.

Queue the HAM-abouts!....DOH!

Okay, ham from NE. Can someone give me next year's date for this?

The blowers of the 106 are awful😂 Its only Rock'n'Roll but i Like it😅❤

honky boomer fudds playin with theys junk

Good job

I got the old free radio, hope to put it on the air, someday.

Always wanted one of these. Some day! I cant stomach what these go for in the US

Ich muss die noch reparieren.Etwas Korrosion und natürlich verreckte Kondensatoren.Dann wird Baby aufgeweckt wie im Märchen Schneewittchen.Dann muss das Chassis geküsst werden😂😂😂❤🦊☕

I might be there.

Good job

31C veteran here. Awesome video! I have scoured the internet looking for one of these. Any recommendations?

I had a 53 set transmitter a single 813 tube and it had a large fan on the left hand corner . It looks the same in apperence and made in Canada it might well be the companion tx for your rx

What is the teleprinter model? Nice and quiet printing!

Had a GRC-106A once interesting set especially on 75m when transmitting SSB signal was around 60+Khz wide pure trash never did find out what was wrong ended up selling. These things are a major headache never again.

I found a complete all original one at a flea market about 30 years ago for 5 bucks. Still in my shop on the shelf in working condition.
