Does anyone have a dial string diagram for the K32?

My on/off volume control is broken.  Can I use a standard on/off volume control with this radio?  The schematic does not give a value.

Thank you,

Donald

My K32 is in very nice condition but it is missing the metal piece at the top of the right door.  This peice makes the door stay closed.  If someone has a junked cabinet, perhaps I can buy this peice.

Regards,

Donald

I am in need of a replacement on/off volume switch for this model.  Mine is defective and not repairable.

Regards,

Donald

Hallo liebe Sammlerkollegen,

Habe gerade  eine Siemens (?) Luftwaffenkoffer wie Model K32GWB aufgetrieben mit abweichende Röhrenbestückung - instatt die übliche D..11-Batterie-Stahlröhrenserie + UY11 sind 2x UCH4, UBL1 und UY11 verbaut worden. Sieht alles unverbastelt und original aus... Gab es diese Ausführung auch ab Werk? (Siemens oder Nora?). Wäre froh etwas von euch zu vernehmen!

Liebe Sammlergrüsse,

While removing my K32 from its case, a wire has come loose from its connection. It is a brown wire that you can see in the attached photo.  I cannot determine where on the UY11 this brown wire attaches. It goes back into the radio into a wire bundle that I do not wish to disturb. Can you assist me, in determining where this wire connects?

My name is Luigi.

Some time ago I bought a cabinet  (without chassis and speaker) of the receivers Siemens K32-GWB and I restored it.

Now, I'm looking for its chassis (even if without some tubes or other parts) and its speaker.

Thanks for any answers.

Best regards

Luigi
