I have nothing to do with this ad.  I have spoken with the SK family to see if it was anyone I knew.  That's about it.  Appears clean and well taken care of.  They have sold two others prior, so they know the worth.....  Family owned a total of three KW-1s (wish mine did!)

Email excerpt from the current custodians of the unit below:

"This particular Collins was associated w/W6FHC (silent key) , our grandmother and W6GNR my grandfather (silent key) who have both passed and had owned a radio station in Delano.  (My husband has applied and now uses his grandfather's call sign W6GNR.)

This unit was working up until my father in laws death in April 2020.  He had tested it when they moved the Collins to our airplane hangar after our grandmother's passing.   My father in law and grandmother prior to her passing used to speak to each other every Sunday until our grandmothers passing."
