Scott in Central America?

This is from the "Sylvania News", No. 4 March 1936. What do you think? Certainly looks like an Allwave 23 on the right.

McMurdo Silver 15-17

Hi All, I'm wondering if there is a decent Schematic for a 15-17 floating around. I cant seem to find a hi-res one online where you could actually read the values. Also, with a recent purchase of this set, there was the original "Read before Unpacking - I Welcome you to Masterpiece Ownership" paperwork. It is 4 pages packed with basic setup and troubleshooting. If this is not already out there, I would certainly scan and post here if anyone is interested. Thanks
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…

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…
