Might look at the Hammond site too. "

"I would think that, with the resistance values of each winding, you could extrapolate the turns ratio. You would have to take apart the transformer I sent you, and measure the wire gauge of each winding. Then, look at the ohms/foot…"
"Mike -
Many thanks for those numbers, they are all new additions, bringing my total to 2214. The AW12 dates from May or June of 1933, the AW15 is probably Sep 1934. Dates are good estimates based on other serial numbers with known dates. The Allwave…"
"Kent,
I am new here and would like to share a few Scott serial numbers with you to add to the database.
AW12 - S/N M124 (chassis only)
AW15 - S/N K257 (Tasman cabinet)
RB0-2 S/N 7564

"I agree with your technician, you can't extrapolate from the DC Resistance values. Those secondary windings...even the direction they are wound may be relevant. I looked at my transformer catalogs of the period - I don't see anything that…"

"Often, with earlier M.S. models, the diagram and alignment info is pasted to the inside of the bottom chassis cover."
"This may help. But being from a magazine, may not exactly reflect your particular radio.
From what you do have, you could fill in actual part values. good luck.

McMurdo Silver 15-17
Hi All, I'm wondering if there is a decent Schematic for a 15-17 floating around. I cant seem to find a hi-res one online where you could actually read the values. Also, with a recent purchase of this set, there was the original "Read before Unpacking - I Welcome you to Masterpiece Ownership" paperwork. It is 4 pages packed with basic setup and troubleshooting. If this is not already out there, I would certainly scan and post here if anyone is interested. ThanksSee More
"Since these original transformers are rare, I would recommend going to the Lundahl Transformer website. They have many varied interstage transformers to meet your circuit needs. I have used them in my Philharmonic which had a blown interstage too…"
"Your photos show and an exceptionally nice radio and cabinet.
I see your receiver chassis rear apron was drilled for small sockets to support such items as a phono, but have metal fillers installed.
Also, your single speaker has a "High…"
"Evidently - the selected cabinet's details were matched to the specific radio being built. Scott built radios, not cabinets. Most of Scott's 1930's cabinets offered were made by Rockford Peerless Furniture Co and were exclusive for…"
"Yes, KK-253. You may already have it. With an invoice date of 8/24/40, that should give you a couple of solid data points. Also note the cabinet speaker mounting board has no openings for tweeters."

FM Tuners
Posted by Kent King on October 22, 2025 at 6:56am 2 Comments 1 Like
So I got lucky last week and saw an FM Tuner without a cabinet on ebay BuyItNow, and I snagged it. It arrived with some travel damage (poorly packed), and it was a bit rough to start (missing tube shields, marginal chrome)...but it is the lowest serial number to date (HH-309) and makes the 12th unit I have record for. I'd like to hear from anyone with an FM Tuner (if you are willing to share) - pics, serial numbers (in case you have one I don't know about) and how many in cabinets? I already…

Hello All, I recently found a "mint" 800B...Yes, the word mint gets very overused, but I cant literally find a single pinpoint of corrosion on either chassis, nor a single flaw on the huge Chippendale cabinet...its just perfect. Anyone know of an "expert" to assist on the electrical restoration in the Massachusetts area? thank you!

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…
