I am a electronics tech and I can repair / restore but designing is above my pay grade. However a good friend is a retired engineer that is 94 and still hitting on all 8 cylinders. I just picked up a beam of light Philharmonic with two power supply/ amps and the converter to receive the 88-108 band. I have a McIntosh MR66 that I use for AM dxing. It happens to have the outboard MPX decoder. My friend says that he can make my Philly stereo. Has anyone else done this?See More
"The set looks very original, nice condition. I hope you and Brad can make connections, he would be a great resource to help with your set.

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…
