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

Sales Brochure Wanted

I found this reference in a 1928 sales booklet. I would like to find the piece described. Next best - a good scan of one if you have it:

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

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…
