Indeed Bill, this is one to watch. The Specials seldom change hands, and never has one sold on ebay or in any open auction I am aware of. It will be interesting to see what the set brings if it passes the reserve. If the new owner is one of our members here, I will offer any assistance and help with the restoration. Those of us that have Specials and have restored them have made notes about the sets that may be helpful. For reference, this is the 9th complete set that I know about. There is also a set rumored to be disassembled, but I have little info on that.

Angelo:
After WWII the Scott military entertainment receivers were very popular in amateur radio circles. They are very common and some are still employed by amateurs today and being referenced as Scott communications receivers. Are you sure the ham was quoting use of a Scott Special Communications Receiver? If so I would have immediately sent a reception report demanding a QSL!
