[Milsurplus] BC-1032 panadaptor

[Military1944 at aol.com]

Having just acquired on of these I see from the manual downloaded from the  
Ws19 site the 1031 was based on a 460khz if, the 1032 which I have is 5.25Mhz  
if.
 
I'm guessing with such a high if that it was used with a vhf set of some  
sort ? but does anyone know which. I can't think of any sets I have here with a  
5.25Mhz first if. 
 
Luckily, though there was a great pool of melted wax/oil on the base under  
the mains transformer I found that after I changed the ht rectifier and one of  
the decouplers which was s/c the set works fine. I'm hoping the cause of the  
melt was overheating due to the short circuit. 
 
I had to change one of the pots which centred the trace but otherwise it  
seems fine.  Obviously I could make a little conversion box up, I think one  of 
those SLB mixer units, a xtal osc and maybe a tuneable bandpass filter on the  
front then a small box with several 'input' frequencies, 455, 10.7, 9Mhz etc  
could easily be fitted. 
 
cheers, Ben.
