I found a 10 uuF dipped mica cap that had been added, one end connected to the C206/C226/V110 pin 7 junction, the other end not connected. So removing it and re-soldering might have fixed a bad solder joint, but I had lifted and re-soldered several other leads. Turned it on and it worked, fingers are crossed it keeps working. I did not find any leaky caps or resistors out of tolerance during my travels.

It was later replaced by the APN-70, which derived the timebase from a gonzo scheme of rotary switch and binary counters. I saw just one APN-4 in service, in a P2V-5 (I think) that we were ferrying back to Alameda for refurb. Of course, the step counters all needed tweaking to get a stable display, and of course the navigator didn't know how to operate it when it was working.

The exciter portion of these radios is full of Bakelite .01 caps (think Micamold). I found many to be leaky, and complete disassembly and blanket replacement was the only way I knew to ensure long term reliability. I don't ever want to work on another 32V. It's a shame, because these are great transmitters. I suspect this is why you don't encounter a lot of them actually on the air. Hope you have better luck, but I feel compelled to issue a warning.

But with my old 32V-2 that came out of the jungles of Panama it seems it took me a while to clean all up. I ended up having to replace all the caps and resistors in the multiplier cans (remember only a good soul would have to do this once in a lifetime) and it was an undertaking for me. Also the cathode resistor in the 4D32 was bad. I just took it to mind that this was going to be one of those very long on and off projects and I tackled the old gal when the spirit moved me. Took about a year. Put in a new Peter Dahl LV tranny first off biting the bullet. It's not museum quality by any means now but brother it is a workhorse now. I finally found a PTO tube that was able to give excellent frequency stability and since I use it on 3.885 exclusively I don't really think I've touched the dial in many moons. It's always dead on with the frequency counter. And to me that is amazing for an vintage transmitter. And to boot it's rock stable along with the great audio. Iron is iron with these rigs. Yes, not many on the air, but they could be. Take your time, but just don't allow it to become your 'white elephant' in the shack. It's a mission. Just like some fellas who play (at) the game of golf, but for me more rewarding. Think of the stock market. You can't get it all, but if you try you can get enough. Like my V-2, not perfect, but she can plow a straight row with the best of mules. 73 Robert W4RL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Al Klase" To: "Old Tube Radios" Cc: "Old Tube Radios" Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 5:51 PM Subject: Re: 32V-1, LV Problems > Hi Mike, > > I'm not going to pretend to be a Collins expert, but I did do a thorough > and successful restoration on an early 32V some years ago for a friend. > The exciter portion of these radios is full of Bakelite .01 caps (think > Micamold).
