[Hallicrafters] HT-32 PTT and CW break-in mods?

[Al Parker]

hI agn Peter et al,
	I forgot (common thing nowadays), that article from a May 64 issue of 
73 mag is on my website, take a look at 
<http://www.boatanchors.org/HT37.htm> down at the bottom of the page.
	You also should be interested in the section on "solid stating the 
HT-37" (the HT-32 & -37 are essentially the same xmtr except for the 
method of sideband generation).  It is advisable to remove the 5v 
filament windings of the power transformer from the circuit by going 
solid state at the rectifiers.  A common failure mode of the HT-32/-37 
is for the HV winding of the xfmr to short to the 5v filament winding, 
or/and to ground, thus trashing the xfmr  It's a simple change which can 
save you future anguish.
73,
