The Collins 75S-3 (1963-1968) is tube-era royalty -- the receiver half of the legendary S-Line, with that unmistakable Collins sound and a collectibility that keeps prices firm. This is a hobby within the hobby. 3 recent sales, median around $500, ranging from $500 to $550. A genuine bargain sits under about $375. Assume it needs a capacitor recap unless the seller documents one -- and spin the PTO; it should tune like butter, not gravel.
Around $500 based on 3 recent sales, ranging from $500 to $550.
Under about $375 -- 25% below the $500 median.
Budget for a recap unless the seller proves it was done -- 60-year-old capacitors are living on borrowed time. The PTO dial should turn silky smooth; a crunchy PTO means a rebuild.
