"I've posted views of the tweeters, main speaker, and crossover network. It looks like I may have left a couple of mouse turds in the bottom of this thing by accident. My apologies for that. "

"I'll get pictures of the tweeters and crossover and put them on here. The speaker in the Phantom looks exactly like the one in my Philharmonic.....a non-pedestal model that attaches to the baffle board with screws. "
"Depends on the crossover and the tweeters. If you can attach pics of the tweeters and the crossover, and the speaker arrangement in the Phantom, I can tell you more. Honestly, it is more unlikely than likely, but we can hope.

Questions about an AM/FM Phantom
All,I just bought an AM/FM Phantom from Estes this last weekend. It has been overhauled and is getting set to become a daily player. I have an AM/FM Philharmonic that has the tweeters and crossovers that my AM/FM Phantom is not equipped with. Can I use them with the Phantom, or are they different for each radio? Once I get the Philharmonic overhauled, I'll probably put everything back together, but, until then, it would be nice to be able to use them. See More

A customers' 800B. the tuning motor was getting juice, but didn't move. winding showed continuity so i opened her up and surprised to find that there's not much in there to go wrong. no commutator, no armature windings, etc.its built like an AC phono motor. this one was stuck from some brown goo between the armature and the field coils. cleaned, lubed and back together. as they say down under 'bob's your uncle'See More
World Record Super 10 turns 100
This World Record Super 10 set turned 100 years old this month. The plans were printed in the Chicago Evening Post Radio Magazine on Oct 14, 1926. My example (only one I know of), uses a less expensive cabinet and standard Remler knobs, but the circuit is identical to the diagram in the article.See More

Worlds Record Super 10 Remler 110 Drum Dial Tape
Just an FYI.I asked Radio Daze to see if they could make replacement tape for this drum dial used in (at least) this model of radio. I sent them pieces of one of the dial tapes that was in the worst condition and they now offer it as a replacement.https://www.radiodaze.com/remler-model-110-drum-dial-item-ds-a953/ See More
"Ken - I will check my parts box tomorrow, just had a busy weekend. I'll let you know asap.

"Thanks for the info, David! I think I have a bunch of shafts and such here and may be able to fabricate it. Otherwise I will take your advice and contact Mark."
"hit is a simple toggle switch ... an on/off switch. rotates right or left.
probably original was broken by forcing it due to failure to understand its use.
may be hard to find one with the long shaft. try Mark Oppat."

Posted by Pat Taylor on May 28, 2026 at 5:30pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
I have had a 1939 AM/FM Phantom Deluxe in a Chippendale Cabinet on ebay for a few years now. I’ve dropped the price several times but have never had any bites. Perhaps because of the size? Anyway, I will be moving across the country within the next year, and do not want to take this monster with me.
I completely restored the radio, including the cabinet. I’m going to take a major loss on this, but I see no other option. I’ve decided to look into selling the individual components to at…

EVERYONE!!
Later this summer there will be some news on Scott serial numbers. I've submitted an article to the AWA Journal for publication, Part 1 of a 2 part update on how Scott assigned the numbers. I am collecting data to further refine this information and add some info for the 2nd part. What I could use from all of you folks:
1. Phantom sets - a picture of the face with the serial number (you don't have to send a pic of the plate, just the face and the associated…
