I have a 32V Philco I picked up at a farm auction for a buck (only bidder!) but I've never played it due to its odd power requirement. Probably should cook up something to remedy that. I've run across 32V appliances (mixers, fans, etc) at farm auctions as well. Evidently some windmills were 32V, along with the DelcoLite plants that were in use in those pre-REA days.

electronjohn,

Does your 32V farm radio employ a vibrator to generate B+ for the tubes , or does it use low voltage tubes that can function with a B+ of only 32 volts?
