EH Scott Radio Enthusiasts

The Fine Things are Always Hand Made

As most of you know, I've been gathering and analyzing Scott serial numbers for over 20 years. I have a couple requests....first, if you haven't sent me your serial numbers, please do. Also...if any of you have a confirmed date for a set/serial number, please send me that. There is a warranty tag on ebay at the moment, these are great, since they have the date and serial number on them. A letter with a date is also good confirmation. I would greatly appreciate any info you fellows can provide. I'll post more about serial numbers here in the future.

JUST PICKED UP SCOTT P-121 IN THIS CABINET.  CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANY INFORMATION ON THE CABINET.  THE RADIO IS A AW23.

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.  

Can you show us the AW-23 guys that have been transplanted into it? Originally there was a record changing mechanism on the left side and an enormous wooden folded horn on the right.
Guts, not “guys”

It's an AW12, not a 23. And more pictures are available on ebay ( this set is listed there)

Pretty heinously butchered!

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.
