As a winter and probably summer project I've decided to restore my first receiver, a Collins 75A-2 that I bought from the orginal owner in 1981 for $100. As I remember it was a fabulous radio and I made lots of CW contacts with it. Later it ended up in closets, garages and numerous storage sheds.

I wanted to start off with some detailed pictures and sort of a before and after, lessons learned etc.
