"I was going to ask if any shielded cable was grounded on both ends.  That will cause a ground loop hum.  I never would have thought of the dial lamp introducing hum via a coil cover.  That's a very helpful hint to store up for…"

"That finder wheel is not among these paper items.  I can figure it out I expect.  Client is not likely to try for SW DX-ing!  Thank you."

"In Ohio, reception is variable on those 3 frequencies of WWV. The 12 tube Allwave Deluxe dial for the 3  shortwave bands is just 1 -100 scale. (the 1934 model FIFTEEN for short wave is accurately calibrated in MC on the dial strip.) Scott…"

"I am getting our uppermost AMs here on the low SW band even without the optimizer connected.  One should be able to get the WWV at 5 10 15 n 20 mhz is that right? "

Kent King replied to thomas higgins's discussion allwave 12
"Test SW at night, and use as long a wire as you can for the antenna. It should pick up AM stations on the first SW band at the low end (it starts about 1.5MHz), there should also be stuff in the 6-10MHz range. Tune SLOWLY, the small SW unit in the…"

"With today's higher voltage, the high-low switch should be which ever position dims the dial lamp a bit. Hence, the low position  keeps the B+ at a desirable lower voltage by maybe 15 volts or more.  If Kent does not have a good…"

AW 23 hum problem

Started by Kent King. Last reply by Alex R. Whitaker on Thursday. 2 Replies

Before you say "it's a filter cap", please read through the work so far:I acquired an AW23 early tuner only and restored it. However, it has an awful 60-cycle hum. Now, I have 4 operating AW23 sets…Continue

Two Philharmonic sets for sale

Posted by Kent King on November 29, 2024 at 8:24pm 3 Comments

Hey all...I have two Philharmonic sets taking up space and I won't be finding time to do anything with them...so I am putting them out here. The first is a red band deluxe (1939). This set has caps replaced and does play but needs additional work. The second is a 1937 pointer dial set with the "Chicago" dial. This set is unrestored but complete. Both sets include a tuner, amp and a 15 in speaker.…

Philharmonic IF wiring - schematic errors

Posted by Kent King on November 11, 2024 at 10:50am 7 Comments

I'm working on a 1939 Beam of Light Philharmonic Deluxe and noticed a wiring error (ok, maybe)...in looking at the schematics available, it gets worse. Refer to the 3 images attached as needed. Here we go:

In the 1937 schematic, and in most sets I've worked on, pin 8 (cathode) and pin 5 (grid #3, usually tied to the cathode) go directly to ground. Pin 5 (at ground) is used as a tie point for the "pass through" caps in the IF cans. In the 1939 schematic, it looks like Scott added a…

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…
