My 7th edition 32S-1 manual shows a four diode modulator that matches your
early 32S-3 description, mostly. It has a 100 ohm resistor in parallel with the balance
pot, not connected to the wiper. Two resistors connected to wiper reduce the
balance adjust range but make the adjustment less sensitive to a dirty wiper.
The early 32S-3 manuals surely were somewhat of a transition from 32S-1 which
came from the factory with a two diode balanced modulator later changed to a
4 diode balance modulator. I'd look for service bulletins and manual errata sheets
about that 32S-3 schematic and balanced modulator.
