"Kent,
I've noticed that many of the cabinets never seen have no provision (at least visible) for a phonograph. I'm assuming that would have some bearing on whether a certain cabinet was chosen over another? Especially in the early…"

Scott Sign
"I have never seen any "advertising" for Scott. Any photos of the showrooms do not show any signage, etc. Other than the sales brochures and such, I don't think Scott even wanted to look like Philco or RCA..."

"Kent, that sign is great!
Question: Did Scott ever put out any signs, clocks, or display advertising like most lesser radio companies did?
Brings up another question: did Scott have "certified" dealers or installers outside of their…"
"More or less. I suspect if one ordered just the Export receiver they received the chassis and supplied their own speaker. If they ordered the console, the amplifier and a 12-inch PM speaker were included.

"so, the SLRM 25L6 output tubes have been repurposed without alteration, to now function as drivers for the 6V6 tubes."

WW2 Award Pins
Over the years I have collected a few WW2 award pins. I just acquired a third "Production" eagle pin which says "E H Scott Radio Laboratories" on it. I now have a red pin, a white pin and a pin with red, white and blue bars. I am wondering if there is an all blue pin. Does anyone have any other examples they would share here?KentSee More

Scott 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…

Two Philharmonic sets for sale
Posted by Kent King on November 29, 2024 at 8:24pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
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.…
ContinuePhilharmonic IF wiring - schematic errors
Posted by Kent King on November 11, 2024 at 10:50am 7 Comments 0 Likes
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…
