"Normans suggestion is the best one, I have tried using a full face welding mask but the green is too dark, when placed behind the dial it's almost black.
Using theater jels you can use several layers and tints to achieve the correct shade.

Green Phenolic Dial Material
Has anyone come up with a better source for replacing the original green phenolic dial material? So far, the best I can come up with is a poly folder. (Pic included)See More
"Kent...Thanks for the advice. I tried to explain about leaky capacitors and positive grid biases but it went nowhere. Glad I was there to yank the cord! I'm going to reserve this for the winter. Looks like a long and careful process but I have…"
"I strongly suggest replacing all the filter caps, and any paper caps you are able to reach. That set is a tough one, there are many caps that require disassembly of other parts just to replace them. Focus on any paper caps on the B+ voltages…"
"Thanks Kent. Against my strong advice, my nephew powered up the set and did hear some static and noisy control sounds so I think it will be straightforward. I quickly pulled the plug! Good to know you have some spare parts if needed. I'm not…"
"Alex gave you a great rundown. That is an early FM Phantom, dates from summer 1940. Your set looks very complete, but if you find you need something as you restore it, reach out to me. Years ago, I bought an FM Phantom completely dismantled in a box…"

Need help identifying this Scott receiver
Hello! New to the forum here and hope someone can help me identify this Scott receiver. See photos of the full front view and a closeup of the dial and control area. The only label I could find has a serial number: EE 435. The radio has two eye tubes and covers several HF bands. Once I know the model I'm also hoping someone can direct me to schematics of both chassis and any service and alignment information. I will likely be refurbishing this gem and want to get a head start. Many thanks...MikeSee More

ContinueParting out a 1939 AM/FM Phantom Deluxe?
Posted by Pat Taylor on May 28, 2026 at 5:30pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
I have had a 1939 AM/FM Phantom Deluxe in a Chippendale Cabinet on ebay for a few years now. I’ve dropped the price several times but have never had any bites. Perhaps because of the size? Anyway, I will be moving across the country within the next year, and do not want to take this monster with me.
I completely restored the radio, including the cabinet. I’m going to take a major loss on this, but I see no other option. I’ve decided to look into selling the individual components to at…

EVERYONE!!
Later this summer there will be some news on Scott serial numbers. I've submitted an article to the AWA Journal for publication, Part 1 of a 2 part update on how Scott assigned the numbers. I am collecting data to further refine this information and add some info for the 2nd part. What I could use from all of you folks:
1. Phantom sets - a picture of the face with the serial number (you don't have to send a pic of the plate, just the face and the associated…

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

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…
