Excellent Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Sent my S/Line to Peter for an alignment and just a good going over. He found some issues and fixed them no problem. My 32S cabinet was a little rough and he exchanged it for a better looking one! I recommend Peter for any Collins repairs.

KWM-2A repair/recon Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased a KWM-2A and when it arrived the rig had much damage, thanks to UPS. Well I sent it to Peter and ask for a recon, repair and alignment. It came back a new Collins and is a pleasure to use. Need help, contact Peter.

Collins 75S-3 Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I can't say enough about Peter's craftsmanship, integrity and honesty. I'm new to Collins collecting and operating and I recently purchased my first S-line and was indoctrinated with some serious and unanticipated repair challenges. Frankly, I was distraught about the situation. I called Peter and when he learned about my challenge he suggested that I bring the radio to him. Knowing that I was upset about the radio, Peter graciously set aside his work schedule and went to work as if it was an emergency repair. He had my radio back up and running, with complete alignment, cleaning, recap etc...that same day. WHen I returned to the shop that afternoon, Peter took some additional time to show me some operating tips with the S line. I recommend Peter without reservation. Glen WY3G

KWM-2A Repair Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I am new to the Collins family when purchasing a KWM-2A. I am a vintage radio guy dedicated mostly to Heathkit but I was happy to find my First Collins toy. There were some problems and with a little help found Peter and I knew that my new asset would be well cared for. He kept me informed all thru the repair process and took the time to be sure the repairs and updates were complete. He also gave me advice on some of the secrets only experienced Collins Amateurs have learned over many years. Peter is a great person to have your repairs performed with confidence. A belated thanks for your expert service.

Great Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I took my 32S3 to Peter with a problem of no transmit audio. Peter had it repaired and back to me within a days time.

I live near Peter's shop and have had the pleasure to meet him in person. He is a great person as well as a great technician. If you have a problem with your Collins equipment you won't be disappointed in his repairs.

Great job - as usual Time Owned: more than 12 months.
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.

Great Job! Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
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.
