Delco 32 volt console
#6

A few months ago I restored a Delco 3201 tombstone (your console may use the same chassis). It had been plugged in and both 48s were toast along with the 85. I got replacement tubes, re-capped it, and fired it up on 24VDC. I was surprised at how sensitive it was. I read people say that these 32V sets are dogs but this thing pulled in stations all over the dial. I tuned in WSM on a Saturday night and listened for a while. I thought about how many times this set was probably tuned to the Grand Ole Opry back when it was originally used.
