I just saw this radio for sale by the Government of Canada surveillance site near Sarnia Ontario. Sarnia is across the river from Detroit.

They took a picture and I can see the receiver is working as it has passed the self test. If it did not pass it would show error of some number. I used to own one of these, great radio

These radios were overhauled and placed into sealed MIL-Spec storage a number of years ago, so you have a very good shot of finding a working unit.
Obviously if you get a Sarnia ham to look at it and report here you will get a better idea.

Here is the place that is selling it.

I am Bill Jackson, VE3GXR, I am not connected with the sale, nor do I benefit from this. I just thought you might like to know about it.

the place is very good and they can ship UPS or whatever.

SOss never came back to this forum. I assume these were sold at bid. Thay were fully Collins updated with all revisions.
That is why the government stuff is so good,.
