"Yes, KK-253. You may already have it. With an invoice date of 8/24/40, that should give you a couple of solid data points. Also note the cabinet speaker mounting board has no openings for tweeters."

"Oh wow!, I have that Zenith radio that's also in the pic!"
"That's very helpful information. Thanks. Here's more pictures."
"So pricing very much depends on the interest levels of buyers and sellers.
Louis XV with FM Phantom Deluxe sold at Estes Auction 3/13/21 for $1700.
From my photo files at that auction: .IMG_1532.JPG"
"Thank you Kent."
"Those smaller units are just caps, and generally should be replaced. If you rebuild the metal casing, you can easily put modern 600v caps inside. I don't always go to that much trouble though.

"There are small shiny rectangular pieces mounted on the underside of the radio. They are marked with MF values, but are they capacitors? They don’t look like anything else I have seen. Do they need replacement like most caps?"
Looking for a Phantom FM Cabinet
I have a nice condition Phantom Chassis looking for a cabinet. I’m over near Akron Ohio. Thx Jon Tipton.
"230v drop across 7560 ohms gets me close to 6 watts across the array. So 10 watters will be good. Nice catch on that noted 25v drop across two different values!
Factor in a +/- 20 % tolerance and im fine. Thanks for the input."
"They wattage can be calculated via Ohm's law and the power formula. However, to shortcut those calculations, if you make each a 5W unit, you should be ok. Making the big one (3825) a 10W unit would be prudent. I never noticed the schematic…"

Or if in the Zenith world, a "Candohm". In the masterpiece, its 3825; 980; 780; 1975 ohms. Im replacing it with discreet power resistors. 5 or 10 watters?

FM Tuners
Posted by Kent King on October 22, 2025 at 6:56am 2 Comments 1 Like
So I got lucky last week and saw an FM Tuner without a cabinet on ebay BuyItNow, and I snagged it. It arrived with some travel damage (poorly packed), and it was a bit rough to start (missing tube shields, marginal chrome)...but it is the lowest serial number to date (HH-309) and makes the 12th unit I have record for. I'd like to hear from anyone with an FM Tuner (if you are willing to share) - pics, serial numbers (in case you have one I don't know about) and how many in cabinets? I already…

Hello All, I recently found a "mint" 800B...Yes, the word mint gets very overused, but I cant literally find a single pinpoint of corrosion on either chassis, nor a single flaw on the huge Chippendale cabinet...its just perfect. Anyone know of an "expert" to assist on the electrical restoration in the Massachusetts area? thank you!

SCOTT PARTS
If you are seeking any odd chassis parts, please email me with your needs (kent3256[at]hotmail.com). I have over 40 chassis representing all Scott models from 1932 to 1947, so if you need an odd item, I might have it. What I do NOT have are knobs, escutcheons, bottom plates, dial pointers and tuning meters from the 12-15-23 sets. Sadly, those are all in very short supply. I do occasionally get these very rare parts, so always ask - you never know what I might have available for your…
