Help identifying an eh scott
I've got an old radio with record player and cabinet. It's in pristine condition. The serial number is yy-320. The top lifts up and the radio is in the front upper portion of the cabinet. Ive posted pictures in the gallery. Any help is appreciated.

Interesting that the renderings in the original promotional articles did not even show a tuning eye on the Masterpiece or Super XII. In the collector guide, the various Phantom models and Sixteen with a wood front show the tuning eye sitting…"
"I had access to panels from several Scott models. After cutting the plywood to desired dimensions, I veneered the plywood and applied the finish. Then I used a router with a pattern bit to cut the openings for the dial, eye and tuning shaft.…"

Yes, I am planning to make a front panel. I have a tuning eye escutcheon, so at least have one hard to find part. I have a dial crystal that should work, it is 5 5/8" on the inside and 6 1/4" on the outside, and will require a 5…"

Thanks for tip on the output transformer. I see you had a detailed discussion about this on another thread and posted pictures of the transformer you modified. If I find a speaker with a dead transformer I will do the same."
"My Scott Masterpiece came in the somewhat rare Mayfair, a smaller sized radio/phono credenza. A CD player into the phono input produced impressive, full sound, especially with the opening track of La La Land movie soundtrack."

Scott Masterpiece - Missing Dial Pointer
Posted by Don Jackson on March 15, 2025 at 8:17pm 15 Comments 0 Likes
I found this 14 tube Masterpiece not far from home last fall, it was a bit sad looking but it cleaned up much better than I expected. After recapping it and lots of polishing it works great and is a nice addition to my collection. It was all there, except the dial pointer was missing so made do with a generic replacement. Knowing that not that many of these were made, I doubt if I will ever find an original dial pointer but thought I would ask anyways, there may be the remains of one of…
ContinuePointer Dial Philharmonic Selectivity Trimmers
Posted by Don Jackson on February 22, 2025 at 7:00pm 26 Comments 0 Likes
Can someone verify the correct orientation of the selectivity trimmers in an early pointer dial Philharmonic? In my set the trimmer closest to the front of the set is meshed when the selectivity / fidelity control is fully counter clockwise. In this position, from front to back the trimmers are meshed, unmeshed, meshed and unmeshed. Is this correct?
The volume control has been replaced and I wounder if someone removed the fidelity control during the process and messed things up. The…
ContinueScott Export Set and "amp"
Posted by Kent King on January 18, 2025 at 8:30am 8 Comments 0 Likes
Although it was built after the war, the Export set is a relatively scarce set. At the end of WW2, Scott was "stuck" with a large number of partially completed SLRM sets. They put a better face on them and the Export was born. They removed the BFO, but otherwise, the Export is an SLRM. The SLRM is an AC/DC (transformerless) set with AM and SW coverage. I have only ever seen 4 or 5 of these sets, however, there is an odd little thing going on. In the pics here, I provided the front and top…

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…
