Scott FM tuner

[Alex R. Whitaker]

All,

I bought this, from Bob Dobush, a couple of weeks ago.  I just got around to photographing it, and thought you all might like to take a look.  Unfortunately, I have no cabinet, but am grateful for the tuner.  I also thought it was unusual because the dial looks different to me than others I have seen.  Let me know if I'm wrong.  Serial number also enclosed for Kent.

One more file to attach...a close up of the dial.

Alex - For comparison, here is mine. Ser # HH-328. Also no cabinet. This old style shouldered eye tube is bright.

Be a challenge finding a suitable dial escutcheon. Still, a nice shelf queen for now.

Well, that serial number is a problem. Right smack in the middle of a bunch of Philharmonic sets...ALL the other FM tuners begin with HH. Could be original...could be someone put a loose tag on it...there are always challenges for me with this stuff. I had a tuner in my list that was <missing> a serial number tag, so I wonder if that is this tuner with a tag added...all speculation.

Alex - note that your dial and Dave's (and mine) all have the same part number in the upper right corner.

The 3 dimensional appearance of the dial graphics is a result of a reflection off the back side of the glass due to the camera angle. Viewed from the front, is simple paint on the surface of the glass.

I thought my dial was a little different, because of the red paint.  However, I noticed that Dave's had red paint that was just faded out.  Mine must have spent more time in a closet, or in a console cabinet with doors.  I remember you (Kent) telling me that the serial number would begin with "HH," and thought it was weird mine started with "JJ."

[Alex R. Whitaker]

Make that "LL," not "JJ."

Took a really close look at my FM tuner dial with my phone's LED. No red paint.

Rather: most graphics are printed on the back side of the glass in white. In ivory paint only on the front side of the glass, SCOTT and the MC frequency numbers only   41 42 44 etc

Chrome tube covers on all tubes except the 5Y3 rectifier.

is the 1232 tube the industrial version of loctal 7G7 ?

And a search suggests an 1853 sub is either a 6AB7 or 6AC7 ?
