"A quick update to this thread...the only manual I appear to be missing now is the RBO-3, and I'm not sure if they ever made one for it specifically, or just did an addendum to the RBO-2 manual (I have some indication this might be the case). So…"

"Tony - the video is out on YouTube...it was too long for a single run, so whoever uploaded it did a Part I and a Part 2. The EHSHS sold those VHS tapes back in the 90s. I have 2 or 3 here that were never sold. I still keep a VCR player around too,…"

Two Philharmonic sets for sale

Hey all...I have two Philharmonic sets taking up space and I won't be finding time to do anything with them...so I am putting them out here. The first is a red band deluxe (1939). This set has caps replaced and does play but needs additional work. The second is a 1937 pointer dial set with the "Chicago" dial. This set is unrestored but complete. Both sets include a tuner, amp and a 15 in speaker.…See More

Philharmonic tone control.

Started by jonathan dollimore. Last reply by David C. Poland Nov 20. 16 Replies

As I understand it, on the Philharmonic, the tone control is part of the sensitivity control.  And since the latter is switched out when on phono, it means there’s no facility for a treble cut on…Continue

Philharmonic IF wiring - schematic errors

Posted by Kent King on November 11, 2024 at 10:50am 7 Comments

I'm working on a 1939 Beam of Light Philharmonic Deluxe and noticed a wiring error (ok, maybe)...in looking at the schematics available, it gets worse. Refer to the 3 images attached as needed. Here we go:

In the 1937 schematic, and in most sets I've worked on, pin 8 (cathode) and pin 5 (grid #3, usually tied to the cathode) go directly to ground. Pin 5 (at ground) is used as a tie point for the "pass through" caps in the IF cans. In the 1939 schematic, it looks like Scott added a…

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…
