2nde ed Rockwell 32S-3A dated 1 Dec 1975 has 12K 1 watt carbon comp for
R41. Shows R113 as 1.75K 3 watt wire wound.
7th ed 32S-3 manual dated 1 May, 1969, shows R113 as 1.75K 3 watt, R41
as 22k 2 watt carbon comp.
My 32S-1 manual 7th ed June 1960 shows R113 as 2.5K 7 W, wire wound.
Shows R41 as 22K 2 watt carbon comp.
32S-1 10th ed dated 15, Nov 1961 (but with Rockwell ID), shows R41 as
22K 2 watt carbon comp and R113 as 1200 ohm 2 watt carbon comp.
Sure wish we had access to the MCN for these rigs, then we could trace
the history of circuit mods easily.
