[Hallicrafters] Ht-32B Not Working

[David C. Hallam]

Harry,

Thanks for the tip.  I sprayed some De-Oxit on mine and rocked the shaft
back, forth a few times, and guess what output!  I will proceed to set the
gain according to the manual.

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.
