EH Scott Radio Enthusiasts

The Fine Things are Always Hand Made

Hello-

In searching for the correct speaker for my AW23, I have found an orphan 12" Scott speaker.  It is not the one I need for my radio, but I will gladly trade it to anyone that can use it in exchange for the speaker I am missing.  The pictures will show the details, but it is hard to read the numbers stamped on the identification plate in the photos.  The read as follows:

MODEL

12E1056

PART

85E2419

Any assistance in identifying which model radio this speaker belongs to would be much appreciated.

Thank you and best regards-

Troy Taylor

I do not recognize your 12 inch speaker. Appears to be a 2 wire permanent magnet speaker, despite the power resistor mounted in series with the voice coil.  I see your speaker is labeled E H Scott Laboratories, the name in effect until about Summer 1945, and not the post war Scott Radio Labs name.  Perhaps your speaker was originally intended as an additional remote speaker for prewar Scott radios. What is the voice coil resistance? The 8 pin Jones plug is strange to see on a 2 wire speaker. Or perhaps it is a speaker for one of the Scott WW2 military radios.

EH Scott did change over to using Jones plugs: (10 pin for the speaker and and 12 pin for receiver cable) sometime mid-late 1941 into 1942 - for the Laureate, Philharmonic and Phantom. For these late production models I am acquainted, all 10 Jones plug pins were used - for the B+ field coil, for the P-P output transformer and in addition the 120 AC line through the Jones plug pin 1 & 2 to prevent the radio powering up unless the speaker plug was inserted in the amp speaker socket.   

I can help with this, as I've got a couple of these. I have found this speaker used with the post-war Export receiver, although the Jones connector is a bit unusual and might be added. It is definitely a 1940s era Scott speaker, not pre-war.

Yep, "Export" receiver speaker.  It is interesting that Scott Radio Laboratories was using the pre-war decals on this speaker but then again, they were employing unused parts procured for military contracts while telling stockholders that Scott Radio Laboratories was going to be paid for the balance of the military contract after termination.
