The paint damage on the transformer is due to some black foam that I had used to wrap the 51S-1 I had it in storage about  6 years. When unwrapping the foam from the radio the foam stuck to part of the frame and the two transformers. The radio works great from .2 to 30mhz

 

 This Radio meets CCA guide for

 

Excellent Condition

  Sets in excellent condition are completely functional, have no missing or damaged parts, show only minute (nearly undetectable) signs of wear and tear, and the cabinet and front panel will be nearly perfect, without scratches or dents and there is minimal dust on the chassis. Original RCA and type "PJ" jacks are in their proper position and show no signs of wear. The material from which certain parts are made may show physical age - for example, plastic parts may change color with age. The radio may have had components replaced but will have no modifications installed which were not approved by Collins and the workmanship must be equal to that of Collins.
