Brenda: HOLY CRAP !!!!!!!!!
I saved that one and will see if it might work with my set.
The 32V vibrator in the model 32 is a large can with leads coming out, not a "plug in" like the one in eBay. BUT beggars (me) can't be choosers, can we?? I would LOVE t get my 32 playing again.
Arran: no, the tube filaments in all the 32V sets were open, with the usual collateral damage to other components in the set. I did not measure any other tube damage as the point was moot, but would not be surprised if there was other inter-element tube damage. In the Philco the damage was a bit more dramatic, as the "points" of the vibrator were literally melted off!!!
