This auction's free shipping DOES NOT include free shipping to Hawaii, Alaska or Puerto Rico as ground shipping is not available, or far too slow. If the winning bidder desires the item be shipped to HI, AK or PR, contact me to determine the additional shipping cost for air transport.

IMPORTANT This equipment is being sold as is, no returns, assume it doesn't work. I applied 12 volts and the power supply oscillator appears to work based on audibly hearing the oscillator operate, however I didn't measure B+ to verify that high voltage was actually present. The pilot light illuminated on both the 51X-3 receiver, and the 17L-8A transmitter, however I didn't hear any audio. This auction includes wiring and connectors as well as original Collins manuals for this equipment. NOTE one connector not included is a Winchester connector for P104 on the 51X-3 which is used to channel a glideslope receiver.
