Hi Mark, First yes I believe it is worthwhile because it gets them on the air and not in the dump! I have an old Hallicrafters AM aircraft transmitter I want to put on 75m just because I can. I bet I won't find very many more of them on the air.
As a side note do you have any manuals on Collins gear that covered those frequencies? I am the archive manager for the Collins Collectors Association and if you have any that cover Collins equipment I would like to see if I might borrow them. The CCA website has a number of Collins radio manuals and service bulletins on them available for download for anyone. The CCA has the official blessing of Rockwell Collins to post and disseminate this information to anyone who requires it.
