Reviews Summary for Collins 51S-1
Collins 51S-1 Reviews: 1 Average rating: 4.0/5 MSRP: $$1828
Description: THE COLLINS 51S-1 RECEIVER

51S-1/1A/1F/1AF/1B RECEIVER

The 51S-1/1A/1F/1AF/1B Receiver receives USB, LSB, AM, and CW signals in the range of 0.2 to 30.0 MHz. Coverage is continuous in thirty 1-megahertz bands. The model 51S-1 is mounted in a perforated wrap-around cabinet and equipped with an ac power supply capable of 115- or 230-volt, single-phase, 50-to 400-Hz operation. The 51S-1A is similar, except that it is fitted with a 28-volt dc transistorized power supply. The rack-mounted ac version is model 51S-1F, while the rack-mounted dc version is model 51S-1AF. The 51S-1B is similar to the 51S-1, but it has a rear-mounted junction box that provides military-type connectors for power, control, audio, and antenna lines.

nice oldie  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
A beautiful receiver, S-line faced and nice mechanics, straight forward controls, very precise and stable. But has a weak front end, practically useless in .2-2MHz bands without pre-selector.
The 28V version shows an annoying 400Hz noise, itīs better to find one with a 110/220 VAC power supply. An expensive radio when fabricated, still high priced now.
