"This version P.S. has a 6000 ohm bleeder on the 6L6 plate supply not found on earlier or later models. They must have gotten the voltage wrong or needed more current through the FC?"

Need a "parts" RC6 phono

Posted by Kent King on August 29, 2024 at 4:36pm 0 Comments

A collector has reached out to me seeking parts for an RC6 phono - if anyone has one that is good for parts, please drop me a note. Thanks!!

Just acquired Scott 1936 All Wave 23 P649. Lights up but no reception. Tubes? Advise?

Posted by Robert Sands on August 12, 2024 at 5:45pm 2 Comments

Tubes all light and warm. Nothing on AM or 3.7 carrier, 7.25 carrier and 18.26 carrier broadcast from nearby antenna. Zilch. General advice is to replace all tubes or one at a time. What do you say, group. Hum low to moderate so speakers and audio working.

Restorable Philharmonic for sale

Posted by Kent King on July 4, 2024 at 4:45pm 2 Comments

I have a pretty decent pointer dial Philharmonic, with the midwest station dial (new replacement, original was cracked). The set is complete and chrome is very decent, this set will turn out great with a good cleaning and restoration. Includes a full set of tubes (the smaller 6L6 tubes are GA, not G, couldn't find 4 matching ones). Amp has some rust but is also cleanable. And we have a good 15 in pedestal speaker with it.

I will not ship this, but will meet you or deliver…

Philharmonic Controls

Posted by Kent King on July 3, 2024 at 5:57pm 0 Comments

I've been working on several Philly sets and I am really just appreciating all the differences in the various sets. So the earliest ones had a series of 5 capacitors which are switched across the plates of the P-P expander tubes. This feature was changed to a treble control and also removed if you had a remote control chassis. I need to know what the rotating switch looked like for the assembly shown here:…

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…
