Peter has done great work on my Collins S-line over the past four years. I recently sent him a 75S3-B with an odd problem. While he had it, I asked him to go through it and make sure it was in tip top shape when returned. He recapped it, changed tubes, realigned it, and found the problem that sent it to him. The receiver works great and sensitivity levels exceed factory specs written 50 years ago. He does a great job and communicates with the customer very well.

Recently bought a mint KWM-2 on Ebay. It was mint on the outside, but needed work on the inside. So, after some excellent recommendations, I sent it off to Peter. The rig is now like new again. He corrected the problems and set it up to factory specifications and then some.

Peter is a wonderful friend and technician. He brought the old KWM-2 a friend sent me to care for since he could no longer operate it due to arthritis. It worked fine for several years, but when we relocated it was damaged in the move. Peter replaced the PTO, and did several other repairs, plus an alignment. Then went out of his way to meet me at BWI to pick the rig up from him. Wow, what an honor to know him.
I've have several OTA complements on the rigs being spot on in tx and rx frequency, the audio, and of course the great Collins punch. The receiver is hotter than ever, no signal robbing with it now!!
I highly recommend Peter for all you S-Line repair and restoration needs.

32S-1 REPAIR
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|

I own vintage S-line as many of you do..I am the second owner and this equipment has been trouble free for the last 10 years. A few weeks ago my 32S-1 lost all power . I checked the Collins Collector web site and found Peter K2LRC. Peter has a great web site with Photos of his tech bench.. Peter completed repair and added a long list of over due mods.. His work is almost an art form.. very clean finish work.I would Highly recommend Peter K2LRC for any S-Line repair.. Thanks Peter..

Bought a KWM 2a on eBay that was in really lousy shape. Sent it to Peter and got back a great working rig. He had a friend paint the cage and it looks terrific. Peter does nice work. Highly recommended.

f you want a real professional to restore or repair your vintage gear, I wholeheartedly recommend Peter Wittenberg. His knowledge of vintage gear, especially the Collins S/Line has few peers. If they award PHD's in Collins, I am sure he has one.....
I always feel a little uneasy sending off my carefully coddled 50+ year old gear to some stranger, but there's no such feeling when you deal with Peter. From start to finish he keeps you informed, is always available to answer questions, and follows up afterwards to make sure you are happy.
You can feel confident dealing with Peter, whether it is for repair, or restoration, or even helping you find restored gear.

Problems with Collins Gear.... Contact Peter!
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

Over the past couple of years the old "War Horses" have had some issues that were beyond my capabilities. My collection was showing it's years both in performance and in my 30L-1 "eBay Queen" the "Non-Smoking" "Outstanding Shape" was way less than advertised. This unit I had him Repaint the housing which came out beautiful! All the equipment is a close to "new" as I can think of in performance. He not only does a GREAT JOB but his communications and updates are extremely professional. Pricing is well within reason and certainly worth every penny. I highly recommend K2LRC, Peter Wittenberg (www.k2lrc.com)
