While not the overused term "pristine", here is a nice working KWM-2. Gets great output on all except 10 M. Still gets decent output on 10 M. Did not attempt to tweak it any. A quick check of various bands show great grid drive on bands checked. I do not have a watt meter but the unit new is rated at 175 PEP and 160 CW.
Receives great. Heard signals on all bands. Has the usual ham band complement of crystals.
Cabinet is true and straight. A few nicks/chips (which I tried to capture) but overall, a nice looking and performing M-2.
Only thing I did to it recently was to check tubes. A few weak ones were replaced. Did NOT Deoxit it or do the fairly easy field alignment outlined in the book. It would probably benefit from that from both performance and tracking viewpoint. (Book not included but readily available on line for little or no cost.) Power supply is NOT included.
Must make room and am selling off some Collins stuff. More to come.
If not as advertised, you can return for refund.
International bidders welcome, BUT IT WILL BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO SHIP. PROBABLY AT LEAST $150 TO EUROPE AND $175 TO ASIA. DO NOT ASK ME FOR A SHIPPING PRICE. CHECK FOR YOURSELF ON FEDEX SITE.
Thanks for reading and good luck bidding.

Was asked a question about the chassis. It's clean and shiny. No corrosion. Also was asked about cabinet. No, no extra holes drilled in it. What you see is what you good.
