<p>Bruce, funny you should mention that. I was thinking of mounting the Tauscher back in the console for kicks and listen to it that way for a while. It's not a fun project lying on my back maneuvering the 15" speaker in and out of the enclosure for "test" purposes :-)<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Y2K Bruce said:…</cite></p>

<p>I'll never forget that discussion with Marvin Hobbs...he could <not> understand or convince Scott that placing a chunk of wood in front of the speaker was not going to help the sound quality. He was always frustrated by the Tauscher boards and Scott's apparent liking for them.</p>

It must be an earlier version since it has the PM tweeters and the passive crossover network without the 35Z3 and round connectors, not the Jones Cinch connectors. I've had this radio for 57 years and always assumed it was the later version. I've seen a picture of an FM Philharmonic tuner chassis on line that does not have the accompanying small four pin socket for the tweeters to be cut out or the wafer switch on the range selector switch shaft. It obviously could not easily accommodate the high fidelity option. Bill Liers recently sold me his custom made FM convertor to receive modern FM on this set. It works extremely well after very carefully re-aligning the FM tuner section on the Scott. Thank you for the detailed information on the high fidelity speaker option. It seems to me likely that Jensen produced the option and integrated speakers and crossover for Scott. My only complaint is the woofer cone is strangely trumpet shaped and projects a beam of sound into the room that seems to get louder the further back the listener is. The Tauscher sound board seems to stifle some of that when used but it also blocks some of the sound creating another problem. I listen to the radio without the Tauscher board.</p>

<p>Thanks Tom. Friend request sent to Bill! I have a couple of the TV tuner subbers that some have converted to an FM converter. I was planning on going that route, but if Bill has a better way, I'd love to hear about it.</p>

<p>Bill is a member on this site. Send him a note. He's a little reluctant to spread the word in that it requires a top notch FM restoration and alignment to work well.</p>

<p>Dave, best to wait for a complete set to come up, or at minimum, a complete chassis set including the tuner, correct speaker and a power supply/amp. If you are very patient, you can collect the parts, but you may be measuring the time required in years. Tuners are by far the easiest to acquire, then the amp, then the speaker. Many 15" speakers have been sent over to Asia for the audiofools who think they sound better than modern speakers. A lot of amps have been sent that way also. A…</p>

<p>Thanks David and Scott. Pictures do wonders for us “visual learners”. I’ve come across a mish mash of parts and PS. What I would like now is a restorable Philly as complete as possible. Need not be pretty. For now a dial glass and bezel would do nicely, I know, “good luck”.</p>

<p>Just to help you out here, as a picture is worth a thousand works, this is a Philharmonic tuner chassis rear. The 4 pin male plug goes into the power supply. The very small 4 pin female receives a cable from the crossover, and the large 7 pin plug goes into the amp like on all sets. </p>
<p>On this chassis without the optional tuner, the 4 pin male plug is used for power on/off. The 4 pin plug on the amp/ps has nothing to do with the crossover/tweeter setup. …</p>
