CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE BATTERY VOLTAGES AND CONNECTIONS
FOR AN ATWATER KENT MODEL 32....I JUST CAN'T READ THE
SYMBOLS AND VOLTAGES FROM THE SCHEMATIC IN THE NOSTALGIA
SCHEMATICS.....IT LOKKS LIKE THREE VALUES OF B+ ARE
REQUIRED PLUS THE BIAS AND FILAMENT VOLTAGES...I'VE
SQUINTED AND SQUINTED BUT CAN'T TELL WHICH WIRE GETS
THE C+ AND WHICH WIRE GETS THE B MINUS LEADS
AND ALSO WHAT THOSE VOLTAGES ARE ( 90,45,22.5,4.5 ? )
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APRECIATED...THANKS ELMER

Hi Elmer

The AK32 has a brown wire going to your speaker, then to the audio output tube. If you use a 171A for output this voltage should be 135. If 01A is used 90 volts would be right.

Red is A+, the radio needs 5 volts on the filaments. The original voltage here was 6 volts which is reduced by rheostats.

Yellow is detector B+, AK used 22 1/2 volts. Up to 45 would be ok.

Green-Yellow tracer is C-. For an output tube 171A use -22 1/2 volts. An 01A, - 4 1/2 volts.

Black A-

White B+ for the radio. Atwater Kent specified 67 1/2 in their service manual. Up to 90 volts would be ok..
