HI I think this unit goes way back to the original owner Graig Talbot the founder of Action. I do have a large collection of info sheets I will check to see if I have a P32 sheet. It may well be this unit is well past its sell buy date but you never know.

Thank you Stan, I have emailed Action Electronics in the hope they might know but it is quite old.

P32 was discontinued before we took over ACTion from Craig in 2007. I have no documentation on it and so neither will Component-Shop. The best I can offer is that you post a couple of close-up photos opf the unit - one of each side of the board - and I can take an educated guess at what it does.

Project 32 is a servo slow down with servo reverse still looking for the wiring diagram.

Ah! Thanks, Stan. I remember that unit now. It was one of three different circuits Craig tried using  the same IC. This one was a mess - the servo didn't always reverse and it moved in definite steps when slowed down. Maybe that's why he discontinued it. If you want these functions then don't waste your time with this unit - buy a P96 Servomorph.

HI Dave it must be 28 years ago since fitted one of these to control some gun turrets . I actually found one of these in my box of tricks It must have been bought  in the early nineties I doubt it will ever be fitted.

Hi I have one of Craig's servo slow downs.  This one dated 1999, I built it from the kit I have not opened it up so can't be sure it is this a P32.  But it has worked without problem since then and is used to slow down a sail arm winch in a Nordeney fishing boat.  It has some slow down adjustments inside if I remember correctly.

Regards
Roy
