Howdy! Holger,

Where I wrote VOX in the Reply I sent You I realized VOX was the
wrong Title for the Jack on the back of the 32S-1.

The Officer had the J-38 Key plugged in the PTT Jack.
That is why I couldn't send any CW on the rig.

The older gear that the S-Line replaced was a NC-300 RX,
a Central Electronics 100V TX and a Central Electronics 600L RF Amplifier.

I thought the Officer was dumb to replace that fine set up with the
puny Collins S-Line gear.

But in His room at BOQ (Batchelor Officers Quarters) He showed Me His
KWM (-1 or maybe -2, can't remember) XCVR.

I looked at the prices for the older gear and the newer gear shown in
the 1959 Allied Radio Catalog.

National NC-300 wasn't shown but the NC-303 was $449.95 USD
Central Electronics 100V was $595.00 USD
Central Electronics 600L was $495.00 USD

Total value $1539.95 USD

Collins 32S-1 was $590.00 USD
Collins 75S-1 was $495.00 USD

Total value $1085.00 USD (I didn't figure the cost for a 32S-1 Power Supply)

Go figure.

Before the Central Electronics gear was put in the K6NCJ Ham Shack I used
a AN/T-350 XM AM/CW TX there.

Pictures of a T-350 XM being restored are at:
