I likely will never own one of these. I do, however, have a nice 310B exciter--a lab prototype--that my grandpa procured while working decades for Collins. I'm satisfied.
@kc7fys Your prototype is worth a bunch, I would say. I had a prototype of the KW-1, bought it for 500 bucks in 1987. Restored it completely and sold it for ten grand in 1992. My prototype would probably would sell for 15 grand today. The KW-1 was owned by W0JTF who worked for Collins in Cedar Rapids in the 40's to 60's. Mike, W5MP.
Great rig,even with todays modern rigs it is good to fire up an old classic like the KWM-2. The glow of the tubes makes for a cozy shack on a cold night.hi! 73,Don, VO1XH

I needed the money to pay off some bills, but I didn't have the heart to sell her. I decided she was going to be a keeper, come heck or highwater.
