"Russ -
Great story! I have saved copies of the letters, I have hundreds of pieces of correspondence, and things like these are gems.
For those who'd like to meet him, this is Henry (Hank) Kerl, circa 1944. I'll have to see what I can find…"

"The drawer with it's bird's eye front is still there. Somebody reduced it's depth to about 5 in. This wasn't necessary and I intend to restore it to near it's original depth in the future."
"the 15 inch speaker was available for the 20 tube Phantom in 1940, so maybe your 15 inch speaker was original to the cabinet. And the cabinet may have been still available, contemporary to the Phantom Deluxe for awhile. Looks like your cabinet once…"
"The Scott has been moved over to the house. Sue played the Bing Crosby Christmas album last night. Her mother used to listen to that collection at Christmas. ( Eight songs on 4 records at 78RPM ) It is working very well. I had to use the tractor to…"

"The challenges I recall from comments of John Okolowicz (spelling?) who made 3 versions of the Scott pattern:
- closing down of many US textile factories over recent decades.
- decreasing stock of those big commercial spools of proper yarns, and…"
"Not all expanders have the mounting holes. Most of the ones I have seen do have large grommets in the mounting holes, but I suspect the specific need depended on the installation.

"I believe that the best of the reproduction cloths were made on a Jacquard loom process. More expensive and difficult to replicate. May explain the raised texture of the "chinese man""
"Just got a volume expander for my AW 23. Question, are there rubber bushings that go in the two mounting holes?."

This is the beginning of a running blog on updates to the files saved in the Info Archive. This morning, I updated the file "Milsets.pdf" in the WWII Sets folder. Fellow member Angelo found some new US Govt documentation on the WWII sets and I have updated the file with a few new bits of info. More to come soon.

SCOTT PARTS
If you are seeking any odd chassis parts, please email me with your needs (kent3256[at]hotmail.com). I have over 40 chassis representing all Scott models from 1932 to 1947, so if you need an odd item, I might have it. What I do NOT have are knobs, escutcheons, bottom plates, dial pointers and tuning meters from the 12-15-23 sets. Sadly, those are all in very short supply. I do occasionally get these very rare parts, so always ask - you never know what I might have available for your…
