Hello Ray, I had an HT32 years ago that I picked up “dead”, found out someone had replaced the HV rectifier with a couple of diodes which were not rated high enough PIV. Replaced them with a homemade stack and that rig ran for years until the HV choke decided to let all the smoke out. Rewound it (3000 turns of #29 magnet wire) and it ran a few more years until the transformer gave up the ghost. It was a very good sounding rig CW AM and SSB, always got great audio reports, and I found it easy to work on. But I parted it out after the trans left this world.
It remains one of my favorite transmitters.
Enjoy it.
73, Howie WB2AWQ/7
