"Sometimes, these things come with a set. I have an AW23 in a Wellington cabinet with all of its paperwork from the original purchase. I bought it many years ago at the estate sale of the original purchaser, so I am the 2nd owner of the set. Finds…"
"Interesting information. Wouldn't it be something to find the original receiver and the decendents of the original owner?"
"There are two other things to consider: First, I'd almost bet he opted for installation ($10). Scott would not waive that fee, as he had to pay a local person for that service. Also, Scott often took deposits/down payments - so this check might…"

To members: I came across this February 1935 issue of Broadcast News online. It has a fascinating discussion on High Fidelity broadcasting, which was in its infancy, and the challenges at hand.

As many of you know Clay was instrumental in helping Scott develop their High Fidelity receivers based on…

Phantom or Masterpiece set of Brass backplates wanted
Posted on March 13, 2021 at 12:19pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
I'm working on finishing a Masterpiece radio project and I'm trying to round up some missing parts. I'm looking for a set of brass backplates that go behind the knobs for a Phantom or a Masterpiece. Does anyone here have a set of these they are willing to sell?
Thanks!
David
