"Thank you for that information. Too bad Scott did not identify those connections better to aid future novices. Also I'm guessing such a 2 pin socket connector is unobtanium. Perhaps the connection can be re-done for a more practical &…"

On/off AC toggle switch

Posted by Scott Dickson on July 2, 2023 at 7:14pm 9 Comments

Scott Radio Laboratories because Murray Clay came from RCA as and electrical engineer in their radio licensing division just before this article was written.  As many of you know Clay was instrumental in helping Scott develop their High Fidelity receivers based on…

Courtesy of fellow member Carlos in Spain, I was able to scan in a large group of Capehart manuals. This includes at least one phono sold by Scott. You can find these items in the Scott Info Archive > Miscellaneous > Capehart.
