Collins 75S-3 receiver described/represented as
<quote>
"Very Good Operational Condition"
IT WASN'T !
IT ARRIVED NON-FUNCTIONING AND MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE ON ALL SETTINGS EVEN STANDBY
Immediately on power-up was emitting a terrible noise as though the AC mains connected directly to the audio out.
and what did Mark G. Moore have to say (?) :

"
Something must have come loose in shipping or a tube went, It came on just fine before it was packed! This is why it was 700 shipped and not 1000 or more, And why I sent all those pics . No deception here just 60 year old radios and their quirks .
"
WAIT, first he advertises the receiver as very good operating, then says maybe something happened in shipping,
then he attempts to justify the malfunctioning condition justified based on the price that was paid ... WHAT !?
which is it ???
a defective radio sold cheap, or misrepresented junk ?
obviously N6MGM knows it is both.
And next N6MGM ghosted, skedaddaled, gone into hiding, disappeared. How about pay for repairs, N6MGM MARK G MOORE ?
I also purchased/received a Collins 32S-1 from N6MGM, I am in the process of evaluating the circuits before I power it up so it doesn't smoke and burn potentially. I will update this report later accordingly.
But the fact that remains is that N6MGM MISREPRESENTED and DELIVERED a junk 75S-3, AND refuses to provide resolution or even communicate after informed. N6MGM claims to have been employed by Ham Radio Outlet in LA for over 30 years. Which is why in large part that I trusted doing business with him.
Let's drive out the Scavenger Hams.
