New guy with an estate find

[nleming]

I just purchased this large pile of radio equipment from an estate. As far as my research goes I think this cabinet is from 1934? Where is my best resource for more information?  It came with a brochure talking about the innovations for 1935. Thanks in advance.

AW15 in a Westminster cabinet.  1934 to 1935

And to answer your other question, your best resource for information will be here.

Look for a 12-inch pedestal speaker.  If present, you have a complete Scott Allwave Fifteen receiver.  They perform and sound very good after restoration.

Thanks for the responses. It did come with the speaker. There were so many individual pieces I didn't take pics of everything.

The correct speaker is a 12 inch pedestal mounted speaker. It would have a Scott decal on the back, but was a special design by Jensen. Of note, the speaker has 2 field coils. My experience with these speaker for the model Fifteen is the B+ field coil is open about half the time. The speaker cones also get rather fragile.

Model Fifteen (aka referred to as the AW-15 for Allwave Fifteen) tube complement is 15 tubes -  12 tubes on the receiver and 3 on the amp/power supply. On this Scott website above, find information including an owners Instructin Manual  in the Scott Info Archive. Then select SET FOLDERS. and scroll down to the AW-15 folder.

Could you please send me the serial number of the chassis (small plate on the back of the tuner). It will help our historical research. Thanks!

I purchased this radio not knowing how old it was intending to put modern speakers in it. After doing a little research I was wondering if anyone would be interested in purchasing this unit before I do so? I appreciate old things but I am not much into restorations. I am located in the Quad Cities in eastern Iowa.
