Do you have a Collins 648? Those are double conversion but like all the military Collins,you need to mod the product detector for SSB. The 75A4 I haven't had to tho.The 648 doesn't have 10 meters but that German one doesn't either.
I just love the way that German WW2 radio performs.I wonder if he did any upgrades?

Ive always used the CW position on my old Hallicrafters for SSB without issue

Yes, I own the dusty R-648. I plan to install the AC power supply today. I likely will only use it for 75 meter AM & shortwave listening.I am looking for a the Collins 51J-4 500 KHz IF 3.1 kHz mechanical filter to replace the R-648 1.4kHz IF filter for narrow AM or wide SSB. Got one Michael?

Powered up the R-648 today. Very nice receiver.
