Philharmonic 15" Pedestal Speaker Output Transformer

Hey everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster here. Currently restoring a Philharmonic with the 15 Magnavox pedestal speaker. Unfortunately, the output transformer in my speaker is shorted. I am looking for find a suitable replacement transformer. Before I scour the internet for an option, I was curious if anyone else had recently replaced one of these and what part that you used? Open to recommendations!JeremySee More

"For my second Allwave 23 that was missing the speaker, I put together a new output transformer and made up the needed power resistors to replace the field coils. This lets me use any speaker system. Will check it all out soon. Thom. "

Missing Cabinets

In our Scott Info Archive (link above), there is a folder for Cabinets. These are all images of cabinets presently in collections. I have added a new folder in the Cabinets area - Missing Cabinets. These are all Scott advertised cabinets for which we have no modern photo - meaning they may not be in ANY collection. I'd like to know if anyone has one of the Missing Cabinets, and if you could share photos of these very scarce cabinets.Anyone?See More

"Mark - You really don't need the 450v supply for the Super 10. I run mine on a supply that provides up to 135v, and it works very nicely. You may not need to bias the grid on the 10 quite as much with a lower plate voltage. An RCA tube manual…"

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…
