Collins

 32V-1 Transmitter

4 July 2023 - Finally got around to getting the 32V-1 out of the cabinet - first task was to replace the LV & HV lamps - next will be to check the two 4uF capacitors in the LV section.

I have the replacement dial from Howard Mills and I also have velum paper and the lamps for the dial segments.

18 October 2022 - Looking at a few items before firing this up - the 4uF capacitors in the LV section look leaky and they are deformed - ordered replacement capacitors for them and the two in the HV section.  I may re-stuff them or may just bypass them under the chassis, installing the new capacitors there.

17 October 2022 - Picked up the Collins 32V-1 receiver on 10/15 - this radio is extremely heavy - looking forward to testing it and getting it operational.  I already have the replacement dial rule.

22 September 2022 - Adding a 32V-1 transmitter to my Collins collection - just won the auction at $199.99 - a steal.

75A-3 Receiver

20 November 2021 - So far I replaced the limiter pot - it was frozen.  Added another filter in the "B" position.

I ordered and received a complete tube set, capacitor replacement kit, and a SSB adapter.  These will be installed at a later date.

Tested on multiple bands and works great - even SSB without the adapter works
