[AMRadio] Collins 32V1 diagram needed...

[Dr. David Knepper]

Someone should document the schematic changes between the 32V-2 and 32V-3.
It's not just about the cabinet and handles, I can assure you.  I am
restoring a 32V-3 and there are differences in the multiplier stages.

Has anyone documented these changes?
Thank you.
