"Evidently - the selected cabinet's details were matched to the specific radio being built. Scott built radios, not cabinets. Most of Scott's 1930's cabinets offered were made by Rockford Peerless Furniture Co and were exclusive for…"
"Yes, KK-253. You may already have it. With an invoice date of 8/24/40, that should give you a couple of solid data points. Also note the cabinet speaker mounting board has no openings for tweeters."
"Welcome to my world! I have top look at every piece of Scott paper I acquire, there are differences in many of them, I have several manuals for different sets. I try to place the most complete manuals I have in the archive.
Also, is the serial…"
"I just noticed my Instruction Manual isn't the same as the one in the info archive. Page 1 is slightly different. The archive's page 18 has FM instructions that my version lacks. My total page count is 22, the archive's is 23.…"
"I would have expected the FM Phantom to always include the optional 4 unit speaker system. But we are noting FM examples with just the standard 12 inch speaker, same as my AM Phantom Deluxe (Louis XV) speaker. The Philharmonic was offered with…"

"That set is in fantastic condition. Hard to find sets that nice. "

Louis XV with FM Phantom Deluxe sold at Estes Auction 3/13/21 for $1700.
From my photo files at that auction: .IMG_1532.JPG"
"I had to correct the picture orientation."
"Yes, I may wait a bit and see if anything turns up at those auctions. I'm not in any hurry. As far as I know, it needs electronic restoration. The power chassis was recapped. I powered it up on a Sencore Powerite and it seemed like it wanted to…"
"I tried a simple internet search for Scott radio Louis XV. Up popped an February sale by a California collector of the
of Louis XV with the FM Phantom Deluxe (2 magic eyes) and having the post war FM converter. Knowing this collector, it…"
"Tall order to find a sale comparable for the rare Louis XV lowboy with any Scott receiver much less one with the FM Phantom Deluxe. (Zenith also sold that cabinet as the 15-U-273 in 1937 with nearly identical detail plus gold…"
Looking for auction and sales results for Louis XV with Phantom Deluxe AM/FM
I've tried searching the usual suspects but came up with nothing. Is there a way to search old auctions on Estes or other sites? Someone is interested in buying mine and I'm trying to find a pricing range that's fair for both of us. I'm guessing that not too many come up for sale.See More
