"It looks like someone put four type 45 tubes in place of the 2A3 tubes.  It will work but definitely not as intended. Norman"

"That amp is designed to use four 2A3 output tubes.  The globe shaped tube is wrong."

"the 3 tube amp should be placed behind the smaller speaker on the left. The set plug has two larger pins and so only fits one way in the amp socket."

"Hi David,   Thanks for the information.  I do have the power Amp., it was out of the console when I got it, I guess they wanted lighter weight for moving, it's in my lab, haven't looked at it in any detail or underneath…"

"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…"

"2nd detector is located 3rd back on the left side. Appears to have been modified as the chrome shield is missing and an unexpected type tube appears there. The device to the right mounted on the cabinet side is an antenna tuner for short wave…"

"Referred to as the AW-12 Deluxe. The Twin speakers indicate 1932 or early 1933 production. If it has a Wunderlich tube as 2nd detector, then it has AVC, the upgrade introduced December 1932. The Wunderlich tube is an Arcturus blue glass specialty…"

"Referred to as the AW-23. has newer replacement speaker cloth.. later 7 knob version 1936-7."

David C. Poland replied to Alex R. Whitaker's discussion Scott FM tuner
"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."

"So, you have an Allwave 12 Deluxe in an early Tasman cabinet, and an AW23 (Allwave High Fidelity) in a Warrington cabinet. This is the later chassis (1936), with the optional tweeters (valuable). That set will be a great performer once…"

Scott Buildings in Chicago

Posted by Kent King on August 1, 2025 at 12:35pm 1 Comment

I am in Chicago this weekend for the ARCI meet and presenting on Scott. Whenever I am in Chicago, I try to visit the old building at 4450 N Ravenswood Ave. On this trip, I also wanted to find the 3 sites used during (and after) WW2. 4525 N Ravenswood became the "civilian" offices for Scott during the war, and this small building still stands. 4541 is a larger building, known as "Factory #2" during the war. After the war and Scott's departure, 4541 became the main building until they moved to…

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…
