The Phantom Deluxe that I am working on is DD-404
That cabinet looks very much like a Victor Orthophonic model 10-50, the first automatic record changer available for home use. Victor introduced it in 1927 and it sold for $600.00.
It's an AW12, not a 23. And more pictures are available on ebay ( this set is listed there)

The cabinet doesn't look too bad. How hard would it be to put an AW23 back in there? - - - or an 810. I really don't like 810B cabinets. I know, I have one berried under something. But the radio is all restored.
I have a Phantom ,serial # UU-42 in an Acousticraft cabinet.

I will preface this by noting that I am not a "radio guy", although I now own a few of them.
I recently acquired a Scott from a late friend.
It appears to be an Allwave 23 that is mounted into a highly modified +/-1937 Zenith cabinet.
The workmanship on the adaptation is very nicely done - looks original to the untrained eye.
I have not attempted to power it up, although it appears both complete and in very nice condition.
I would love to have some information about this radio if it can be found.
Serial number is A-597
Barry-
Thanks, that is a new serial number in the database. Given the number, it was probably built in the summer of 1935. We can't be more specific, everything we know is inferred from a handful of known serial numbers. You can find manuals and technical info on the set right here. Click on the "Scott Info Archive" link at the top of the site. Then go to "Set Folders" and "Allwave 23" and you can find PDFs for your model.

I just bought two Philharmonic parts chassis (tuners only). One is an FM, and the other is a red dial deluxe. Serial numbers are GG-409 for the FM, and BB-331 for the red dial.
