[ARC5] R-32 receiver

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I had a couple of R-32's about 45 years ago and would have sworn that they 
had local tuning dials.

In any case, if what he has has no tuning dial, I know of two options.  
Find an A.R.C. Type 12 or AN/ARN-30 tuning box or panel and a short length of 
tuning cable.  And if the panel doesn't already have the VHF COMM dial, find 
that.

Or I believe that the capacitor frames for all of the receivers were the 
same except for some holes on the front.  So remove the tuning capacitor from 
the R-32.  Salvage a tuning capacitor from any of the WW-II Command Set 
receivers.  Machine the frame of the R-32 capacitor and the upper part of the 
receiver front panel to match the WW-II one.  And transfer the parts.  There 
was a local tuning dial for 108 to 135 MC made but finding one of those is 
unlikely.  So he will have to somehow mark up the WW-II dial to match the 
R-32.
