New to Collins (Kenwood hybrids at the moment)...
I bought a nice Collins 30L-1 amp (winged)...
What is the difference from a Winged & Round emblem??
Also is the Winged more valuable for collecting or the Round??
Thanks in advance...

Hi Bob
The Winged serries came out in the Late 50's. About 1968 the round came out. The Rounds are later and more desirable.the last just Said Rockwell. Rockwell Corp bought Collins in the mid 70's and they Produced the S Line and KWM2 till about 1979. After that They Produced the KWM380 that is all sold state and still cary a $3000 Price tag today.

Thanks Stan....
I bought the 30L-1 (winged) at a Hamfest for $500 so don't think I got a bad deal...
In process of changing out the power supply board (Young Kim)..
Many Thanks for responding, wish the forum had more activity..
