[Collins] aligment 32-V

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

They are marked in figure 5-1 in the 32V-1 manual. Chasing from the 
schematic, the 28.8 slugs appear to be L104, L105, and L107. The 7.2 
slug is L106. The 21.6 Mhz trimmers are C116, C126, and C134. The 14.4 
trimmers are C136, C127, and C118. The 3.6 trimmer is C139. Figure 5-3 
identifies the parts by number.

The slugs are probably mounted on threaded studs so you see the threaded 
studs with lock nuts. They might be slotted or with hex to turn the 
threaded studs. I've never been inside a 32V. The slug screws ride the 
slug rack that moves up and down with the PTO tuning to track the tuning 
across the band. If like the later rigs, the screws are attached to the 
slugs with a small steel wire.
