Definitely remove the 5.0 VAC filament connections to the tube rectifiers and then solid-state the rectifiers. The Hallicrafters HT-32- series, the Hallicrafters HT-37, and the Collins 32V- series all have problems with the rectifier filament windings shorting out in the transformer. Going solid-state eliminates this from happening.
If there is already a short in the transformer, sometimes, going to solid-state allows the transformer to still be used.

The HT-32 is a very nice radio. I would definitely solid state the power supply as the filament circuit is a weak point in the HT-32/37 series transmitters. _______________________________________________ Boatanchors mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/boatanchors
