The Collins 4A (below) was introduced in October of 1933, one month after the company was incorporated.
This one was part of the original Pavek Collection. Unfortunately, it had
been badly modified and was unfit for display.
In 1966, Joe wrote to the Collins
Company asking for help. He received a personal response, from Art Collins
himself, apologizing for not having the necessary parts to restore it.
John Bravis WØEKS and Jon Lieberg KØFQA worked on the 4A for
several months to get it back to original condition. We can't wait to see
what their next project will be!
Special thanks to Rod Blocksome KØDAS from
Collins Radio in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for providing photos and documentation
on their 4A.
