Scott serial numbers

[Kent King]

As most of you know, I've been gathering and analyzing Scott serial numbers for over 20 years. I have a couple requests....first, if you haven't sent me your serial numbers, please do. Also...if any of you have a confirmed date for a set/serial number, please send me that. There is a warranty tag on ebay at the moment, these are great, since they have the date and serial number on them. A letter with a date is also good confirmation. I would greatly appreciate any info you fellows can provide. I'll post more about serial numbers here in the future.

Alex - thanks, both new. BB-330 was built Apr 20, 1940, so BB-331 is right there on a date.

I just bought two Philharmonic parts chassis (tuners only).  One is an FM, and the other is a red dial deluxe.  Serial numbers are GG-409 for the FM, and BB-331 for the red dial.

Kent,

I am new here and would like to share a few Scott serial numbers with you to add to the database.

AW12 - S/N M124 (chassis only)

AW15 - S/N K257  (Tasman cabinet)

RB0-2    S/N 7564

My father owned a Radio/TV Repair shop in a small town in North Dakota in the early 50's and took the AW12 in on trade for a Maytag wash machine. We fixed it up and hooked it to a long wire antenna in the attic. I remember listening to an AM station in Little Rock Arkansas on it many a late night.

The AW15 was recently acquired at a Ham Radio swap meet and appears to be complete as shipped from the factory.

The RB0-2 was rescued from the dumpster along with several dozen other antique and ham radios and other electronics from an abandoned collection found in an old church building in Walhalla, ND.

Please let me know if these are new additions or repeats to the database.

Thanks,

Mike H. -- KE0ND

Mike -

Many thanks for those numbers, they are all new additions, bringing my total to 2214. The AW12 dates from May or June of 1933, the AW15 is probably Sep 1934. Dates are good estimates based on other serial numbers with known dates. The Allwave 15 in a Tasman is a nice find. Being in ND, I'm surprised you haven't found a battery operated Scott - electric was late arriving, and Scott offered the 2V and 6V chrome battery sets for areas without power until about 1935. Thanks for the numbers and if you ever need parts or assistance with the sets, just drop me a note!
