The Fine Things are Always Hand Made

Scott model information?

I'm looking for any info regarding a Scott model 1522-c am-fm radio/phono console. The year is unknown, but appears to be early 50's. The cabinet is excellent and easily restored, and all parts appear present. I can get it for $20, but don't know if its worthy of the cost or time to restore. I would appreciate any comments.

I agree. But as you know, $20 is only the beginning in a total restoration. But more to my question, do you know anything about this model's collectability or manufacture date, etc?

Thanks for the HHScott info, but the model I am considering is older and doesn't look anything like those in the link. This ebay link looks like the tuner in the console I am considering: http://cgi.ebay.com/1955-SCOTT-9052-RADIO-SERVICE-MANUAL-SCHEMATIC-...

This ebay link actually looks more like it because the center dial in the one I'm considering, is gold colored.: http://cgi.ebay.com/PhotoFact-Manual-SCOTT-515-165-/380149248728?pt...

Looking at the photos reference stated and having a gold color control panel and "slide rule" dial, would be one of several early 1950's Scott Lab (formerly E H Scott Labs) models with AM and FM. Single chassis models include the 10 tube Model 310 using 6V6's.

Models with receiver and separate amp/power supply include: Model 510 with 14 tubes using 6L6's, Model 515 with 12 tubes and 6L6's but short wave instead of FM, Model 1000 with 16 tubes using 6L6's and a magic eye, Model 1510 with 12 tubes (much like the 515), Model 2000 with 14 tubes Both the 1000 and 2000 had 6 controls plus larger dial knob, the other models had 4 controls plus larger dial knob.

Thanks to everyone for the information. I will take pics and post them, as well as whatever additional model information may be available, as I continue to try and identify this flea market find. I do know it has a separate amp. J.M's links were particularly interesting because I am originally from Annapolis, Md. and worked at Ravenswood for a short period of time while I was student at Anne Arundel Community College in the early 60's. As is said, it's a small world.
