"Hi Kent,
Here is the reply I got from Michael Katz. He'd like to chat with you.
Hi, just saw the message. I did a small run (30 yards) for someone, that is how I got my Scott pattern. He paid for most of it. The only issues are that sometimes…"

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.

As many of you know Clay was instrumental in helping Scott develop their High Fidelity receivers based on…
