David just a question is it normal for this type of radio you must turn the rf gain down if you tune in a strong station otherwise the audio will produce Distorsion . Very nice Collins thanks for the fine Video Greger

I believe that is normal for many vacuum tube receivers.

sweet..is white an oem color for the cover? never saw one in all my years congratulations on nice video : )

[@wy6k]

Hey David, Thanks for the nice words. The case is the standard Collins original color - a gray. It's just the light that make it look white. I didn't notice that!

[@wy6k]

David, just noticed your question. It is the normal Collins gray with green/blue tones. It just looks white because I'm a lousy videographer. :-)

A very legendary old quality of Receiver with best filters by then, only Drake R7 might top it. Thanks for this Video !!!
