Scott allwave 12 deluxe amp, can it power a allwave 23 tuner? - EH Scott Radio Enthusiasts2024-03-29T11:14:30Zhttps://ehscott.ning.com/forum/topics/scott-allwave-12-deluxe-amp-can-it-power-a-allwave-23-tuner?commentId=3925821%3AComment%3A111350&feed=yes&xn_auth=noAgain, those speakers won't w…tag:ehscott.ning.com,2021-02-26:3925821:Comment:1121412021-02-26T01:50:43.916ZKent Kinghttps://ehscott.ning.com/profile/KentKing
<p>Again, those speakers won't work with the AW23 either. Speakers in the 1930s are not like modern speakers, they have a field coil and are a part of the power supply. Different power supplies were designed to work with different models of speakers, For the AW12 sets, you're right: they had the dual speaker arrangement and later changed to a (compatible) single 12 inch speaker for the Deluxe.

In many cases, Scott used different plugs so people couldn't interchange (and potentially damage) the sets.</p>

<p>Another question. The allwave 12 deluxeamplifier has 2 speakers, I believe a 8" and a 10". Can these speakers be used on a allwave 23 amplifier? My thanks in advance</p>

<p>Welcome!</p>
<p>I'm sorry to say that the Allwave Deluxe amp cannot (for many reasons) power an AW23 set. It's not just a power supply, it is also an amplifier and the two different parts are not compatible. The AW23 power supply is relatively unique and no other Scott power supply/amp will really work for a 23 tuner. Although it won't be an even trade $$-wise, I'd look to buy a 23 supply and offset it by selling the Deluxe supply. </p>

<p>There are a couple of 23 supplies on ebay at the moment. One is a bit pricey but clean and restorable. The other is fairly rough but still salvageable. Maybe others here will have additional thoughts.</p>
