[ARC5] R-32 receiver

[Jay Coward]

It's the R-13 that has the dial.

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.
