[Hallicrafters] Ht-32B Not Working

[Harry Vaught, KT4AE]

My HT-32 (no suffix) wasn't working when I got it.  The main problem was 
R-161, the Factory Gain, or 9 Mc. Gain pot.  It's more or less in series 
with the RF Gain and the symptom is no RF output - as if the RF Gain 
control were set at "0".  Since it's something which is seldom if ever 
adjusted, I guess it had just gotten dirty in place.  Some De-Oxit fixed 
it right up.  I don't know if the numbering or nomenclature of the pot 
is the same in the HT-32B, but it shouldn't be
hard to find.

In my case, it didn't stop working on me, but it had to have stopped 
working some time.
