I can't help you on the FM band having avoided the pre-war FM sets.

Surprising volume change when changing SELECTIVITY on Phantom FM
Thanks to Jim Sargent (of Jim Sargent Auctions), I acquired my first Scott, a Phantom Deluxe FM (model BFM, sn ZZ455) receiver and power supply which became available in Lubbock TX where I live. After making initial repairs so I could make "as found" measurements - I discovered obvious volume changes when I change SELECTIVITY. Tuned to noise between stations, using SHARP as my 0db volume reference at the output transformer, the noise is +17db louder when switched to MEDIUM, then drops a little…See More
"Yes - is the correct speaker (most commonly seen basket design) and with original output transformer inside.
Refer to the circuit diagram to check resistance and continuity of the field coils and output transformer.
FYI - the speaker is a special…"
"Dave. Here are 3 pictures of the speaker I got with the Allwave 15 Late. Hope this helps. Norman"
"Thank you David. I will post a picture of the speaker later this afternoon the Scott decal is worn off. Regards Norman"
"Suggest you show photo of the speaker you have for confirmation. When new, had an E H Scott decal on the back.
I have had to have the B+ field coil re wound on a couple of the AW-15 speakers over th years.
The 3 tube amp should have tube numbers…"
sensitivity comparison Phantom to Philharmonic
Looking through Scott News, Scott specified the Philharmonic at 0.5uV sensitivity (I also see Scott used what we now call MDS, which is +3db S+N/N with an AM signal). The Phantom is spec'd at 0.6 uV, despite having 1 less RF stage and 1 less IF stage, but otherwise with the same general design features (OK - the variable selectivity is less sophisticated, but with similar RF / IF transformers, etc). At face value, this suggests there is very very little improvement in adding the 2 extra…See More
"Kent Thank you for the offer I can reuse my cover This chassis (no cabinet) was given to me by a horder friend. When I got it I replaced the 3 8 mfd filters on the P/S chassis as well as the 2 8mfd filters in the tuner I dont know what…"
"Your welcome Karl,
The early Scott FM quality was the inspiration to make these."
"You asking about the choke mounted on the 3 tube AW-15 amp?
The Scott chokes are pretty sturdy. A 30 Henry choke was used on several Scott amps, so one from a parts set is not hard to find. Advantage is it will have the chrome cover, fit the…"
"Norman -
It is unusual for the P/S chokes to short to ground. It probably got hot due to a shorted filter and melted the internal insulation. Fortunately, I have some spares around here. Unfortunately, I am leaving early tomorrow morning for the…"
"Thanks Bill, that's a nice solution which still uses the Scott FM portion!"
