Wild piece here. Rare is an understatement. This belongs in a museum. This is arguably the first recording/broadcast Console ever made. Collins makes this claim in their brochure form late 1937/1938. This is the first year version with what we believe to be all western electric transformers. Comes with the original power supply. The wiring underneath is immaculate, to see something of this quality is very rare and really takes the military involvement of Collins into perspective. This is an insane find in this condition. Whoever purchases this, I will tell the story of how I came about it.
