<p>Well - One change from 2017 is we have 20 AW27 sets now. Like Dave said: if you have an AW27 - tell us what cabinet it is in and if you have a phono or other accessories with it. Mine is in a Waverly Grande cabinet, but the phono (which was probably there originally) is missing. Ok....go!</p>

<p>I think it's been pretty quiet on the AW 27 front here since you found yours Bruce. I did have an email discussion with Kent a while back about maybe putting out a call here for AW 27 owners to give us their cabinet type that their 27 is installed in. Also, if they have a record player set up, which record player do they have installed in their 27 cabinet or if they have a record cutter set up, like Norms 27s has in it.

I think it would be interest to see how these AW 27s were ordered from Scott. Let's see if our members here with AW 27's will do that for us here in this post.</p>

<p>Hi Kent,</p>
<p>I finished my AW 27 restoration and put everything back in the cabinet late yesterday. Today was the first full day of listening to the radio. It's absolute the best radio I have ever heard and owned. The bass-boost on this radio is off the chart.</p>
<p>I had to re-cone the Magnavox 15” speaker. In order to make the speak play looser I use glycerin to loosen up the surround on the new cone. This is an old trick I learned when I re-coned my AW 15. Once this was done the speaker really performs well and sounded less stiff.</p>
<p> I got to thinking about the history of my AW 27 where the owner was a church in the St. Louis area when some Christmas songs with heavy organ music started playing on one of our local radio stations this morning. It reminded me of the comments made on the 1936 Scott service bulletin you posted a while back that described what Scott called a “Special Bass Amplifier” with two additional 6C6 tubes for additional bass to drive with the described in the service bulleting as an additional Jensen 18” speaker. The bulletin also talks about Scott developing the "Special Bass Amplifier" for the reproduction of the unusual amount of bass amplification need for recordings of organ music. I have to tell you when you hear heavy organ music play on the AW 27 it gets your attention!</p>
<p>To me your Scott bulletin is written as if Scott created the AW 27 like amp to go with Scott’s “ FULL RANGE HI FIDELTY” receiver (AW 23) for the special purpose of using in Mortuaries and possibility churches too. In my mind One of the things that makes the AW 27 unique sounding is the way Scott designed the bass boost circuit in the receiver to work with the expander and the amp with the additional 6C6’s. Maybe the AW 27 ended up being a spinoff idea from what your 1936 Scott service bulletin was describing as a “Special Bass Amplifier” with an extra 18" speaker.</p>
