Rare E.H. Scott Console Phonograph Record Player
You don't see these 1930's Scott turntables in this condition very often. Great price for the seller. https://www.ebay.com/itm/196550317264?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26ai...

The high-end Scott cabinet sets that accommodated these original 1930s recored changers like this often had their turntables replaced in the late 1940s and in the1950s with more current changers. It's a rare event to see one of these changers come up for sale, by itself, especially in this good of condition. Keep in mind there were a very limited numbers of the hi-end cabinets that were produced for Scott that could accommodate a changer. Plus, very little were produced and sold due the high cost for the much larger custom cabinet and the automatic recored changer that went in the cabinet. These turntable were the beginning of automatic recored changers the could play more that one record at a time.

Is pretty much a Garrard RC-30. Has the wide pick up head - so would be the upgrade magnetic pick up rather than the crystal version usually seen. a pretty fancy price!!

Do these have pot metal problems?
I see they sold a 15" pedestal for $1145. That is by far the highest price I have seen for one of those. $2250 for a red dial AM chassis only in very nice condition. Wow.

pot metal - depends. Have one which is ok - like the one on eBay with magnetic head and Scott labels. Had another (Garrard RC-30) that had been repaired - meaning the big pot metal platform supporting the motor and all the mechanicals - had a couple breaks and a JB weld type product had mended it.
Those prices seem a real fluke.

I have an Garrard RC-1 and it's been ok so far. What I have observed from collecting and restore jukeboxes for over 40 years is that the problems with pot metal seem to be more common in the years leading up to WW II and during the war (1938-1945) due to the mixing of metals going on as a result of metals shortages from the heavy demand for certain metals needed in order to accommodate the war production. I've seen maybe two jukebox record mechanisms fail from pot metal issues out of the 40 or 50 I've been involved in restoring.
