AM FM Phantom on eBay - non Scott tweeters?

[Karl Sherwin]

There's a AM FM Phantom on ebay (112285817711), close enough to me to make it a possibility. It looks like the tweeters are a generic replacement, but wanted to see what the experts think. The numbers on the tweeters seem to be pre-EIA codes so I can't tell the manufacturer. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I should have been more clear in my first post that I could tell the speakers were not original to the set, which is why I suspect the crossover is set up for the PM tweeters. I appreciate all the responses, as always, I learn more about the Scott variations. Thanks!

Karl, from my very limited experience on the pre-war Scotts, there are many undocumented variations. I have just two sets, a post-war 800B and a pre-war AM-FM Philharmonic. The Philharmonic is giving me grief where I charged through changing numerous 0.05uf caps and it seems I did something wrong. As careful as I was, the FM is now dead. I had been getting a hiss between stations and received an occasional, but distorted emergency channel. The FM responds just barely to an RF generator input.

I see your point Karl.  If I were a betting man, I would say that the original tweeters were PM, and the speaker setup shown in the listing is from a Philharmonic.  I guess the only  way to know is to either ask the seller if the speakers will plug into the crossover, or have him put up a clear picture of the speaker sockets.

Thank heavens I found the problem on the FM. One mis-wired cap.

What I have noticed now and in the past (pre-restoration) on the upper SW bands are images, if that's the correct term, on either side of very strong SW stations only.
