"I just checked - I could probably have made a swap for just about any other model but a 23...I've got some extra speakers here, but at present, no extra 23 speakers. I will watch for one, and they do turn up on ebay occasionally. I would hold…"

My allwave 23 in a tasman cabinet came with speaker for allwave 15.

Well the title says it all.  A bought a bunch of Scotts from Ronald Potter.  One radio the  allwave 23 in a Tasman cabinet had a speaker from an allwave 15 stuck in it.  Anybody out there need a speaker  for an Allwave 15?  Ideally since a I need a speaker for an Allwave 23 I would like to do  a speaker swap but I am willing to sell outright.  I will send to pictures to anyone interested.See More

McMurdo-Silver MP6 Custom T10 Audio Interstage Transformer

Hi there folks,About 1.5 year ago I took a little break in restoring my McMurdo-Silver Masterpiece VI because it is missing its T10 audio interstage transformer. Thanks to members of this forum, I now have most of the specifications I need in order to find a sub. Its primary winding measures 1500ohms, each of the secondaries measure 4000 ohms, and the ratio between the primary and each secondary is about 1:2. Using this data, a friend of mine tried to wind a custom transformer from a random…See More

On/off AC toggle switch

Posted by Scott Dickson on July 2, 2023 at 7:14pm 9 Comments

Scott Radio Friends,

I need some help. I am finishing a restoration of a Scott Warrington cabinet. Everything is place except one thing.

I need a working on/off ac toggle switch.

Here's the catch. While the exit bore hole is .5 inches in width... the depth is also just over .5 inches wide. It is .75" thick wood...

The larger initial hole is 1.5 inches and @.2 deep. This means I need switch with a stem around .75 inches to make sure the toggle clears through the hole…

Broadcast News article: Broadcasting in High Fidelity in 1935

Posted by David Wilson on May 31, 2023 at 10:24am 1 Comment

To members: I came across this February 1935 issue of Broadcast News online. It has a fascinating discussion on High Fidelity broadcasting, which was in its infancy, and the challenges at hand. The story has a relevance to  E.H. Scott Radio Laboratories because Murray Clay came from RCA as and electrical engineer in their radio licensing division just before this article was written.  As many of you know Clay was instrumental in helping Scott develop their High Fidelity receivers based on…

Courtesy of fellow member Carlos in Spain, I was able to scan in a large group of Capehart manuals. This includes at least one phono sold by Scott. You can find these items in the Scott Info Archive > Miscellaneous > Capehart.
