Good news, Burt.    I was willing to bet it was one of the two 
oscillators or a mixer which will a single-point failure on all bands.   
Congratulations on solving the problem, and more importantly,  for 
finding it yourself and adding to your skills for the future!

When I tackle "no output" proboems on most SSB rigs I start by verifying 
that both VFO and Heterodyne Oscillator signals are present at their 
respective mixers.  There have been times when something as simple as a 
missing jumper plug for an external VFO has been the culprit and it's an 
easy check.   On the HT-32 and -37 you can also couple a general 
coverage receiver to the 9 mhz exciter cable and verify that the exciter 
is working, and to make sure the VFO has output in the 5 to 5.5 mhz range.

I'm sure you'll enjoy having this great station back on the air.
