Exellent! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
You will not find a more honest, straight forward, no nonsense, professional than K2LRC! Not only is he a walking encyclopedia of Collins S Line, The repair and restoration look like it came from the factory.

Professional service Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Peter accepted my KWM-2A for refurb. The turn around time was just a few weeks. Cost was very reasonable. Peter provided a detailed invoice giving all the parts and services. Also, a nice touch was a label under the lid indicating the repair facility and date. Peter impresses me as a no-nonsense professional. I plan to have him do more Collins radios for me this year. I am happy to find someone to restore my beautiful old Collins radios!

KWM-2A Repair Time Owned: more than 12 months.
On short notice, he accepted my KWM-2A with no RF output, put it on the bench and had it working in 20 minutes. One new tube required. Then with a courtesy alignment on all bands he sent me on my way with the radio working at original factory specs. Great Work!

Collins 75S-2 repair Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
If you want the lowest cost possible, you could take your Collins down to the local TV and Mower service center. Then keep your fingers crossed. If you want it done "RIGHT" and you want a radio to be proud of, then send it K2LRC. I have sent 4 or 5 pieces to him. Always a treat to open the box when it gets back. I have another piece packed and ready to ship, today.

beyond expectations Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I sent Peter my 51 year old 30L-1. It was used extensively in its first 20 years, but wasn't turned on for the last 30 years. Needless to say, it was in terrible disrepair. Peter rebuilt it extensively and it performs now like it did in 1963. His turn over time was very reasonable and the unit cosmetically is back to its old form. Highly recommend him - his service went beyond expectations.

Another successful resurection Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Once again, I have been more than pleased by the attention to detail Peter devotes to my Collins Gear.... just like they were his own.

So Far I have had a KWM-2A, a 30L-1 and the KWM-2A again (after I did something really foolish) realigned and restored to original specifications.

Can not say enough good things about his shop! He was right on time with the delivery as promised and documented every thing as if it were something for the space program.

Great Work! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I recently sent my KWM-2 in to Peter for an S-meter problem which I couldn't handle and I said what the heck...I'll just have a complete alignment done. The work took about three weeks and got the rig back..it's like new and works like a champ. Peter was great...very professional and he knows these rigs inside and out. Thanks Peter...you hams out there with Collins equipment...you want excellent work at a reasonable price, give Peter a call. I did and I'm completely satisfied!

Repair by k2lrc Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Very happy with service. I purchased my receiver recently and wanted a tune up as well as look as a couple of minor issues. The communication with k2lrc was always prompt and so was the service turn around. I would recommend this service.

Fast honest work with a good price Time Owned: more than 12 months.
My KWM-2A went way off frequency (PTO) so I called Peter and he had me send it up to him. He found the problem, the PTO had slipped somehow. Peter fixed the PTO and aligned the radio. Now it works like a champ.
Thanks Peter for a job well done.
