<p>More on Puett electronics. In one post I mentioned that I had some other items. One of them is his radio booklet on the restoration of AC powered radios. 2nd edition, 1978. Orange cover with radio images printed on it. 8 pages and generic schematics for 4 typical radios. </p>
<p>Also thanks to Kent for doing the scan and post of Silver Ghosts. It is good to keep an archive of as much information as possible.</p>

<p>For all who have been following this thread - I have scanned a copy of Silver Ghosts and placed it in the Miscellaneous folder in the Archive. Since I had my entire JWF Puett folder out, I was skimming through the old issues of Classic Radio Newsletter. I found stories in there about several "found" sets that may again be lost. More on this in the coming weeks.</p>

<p>Hi All:</p>
<p>Quite a discussion going on. Thanks for all the replies and information. My copy of Silver Ghosts has the green cover and is from the 3rd printing 1978. It occupies a stack next to my bed along with other Scott related items. </p>
<p>I also have some of Puetts other publications. </p>

<p>This thread has diverged into 3 discussions - I'll answer a few items in this post:</p>
<p></p>
<p>1. Audio Magazine - look for this: </p>
<p><strong><em>"Nothing New Under the AM Sun”</em></strong><strong> </strong></p>

<p>2. Silver Ghosts - I had two copies a green cover (2nd printing, Feb 77) and a blue cover (4th printing, May 81). The earlier one is coming apart, so I may carefully dismantle it and scan it in. Hopefully this weekend.</p>
<p></p>
<p>3. Just Friendly Chats - I'm going to start a new thread on those.</p>

<p>I have 2 or 3 copies with different covers. Some were mis-printed, pages missed, or overlapped. I do not believe the copyright is still in force on these, JWFP has been gone for a number of years and I do not believe anyone in his family has maintained them...but I do not know for sure. </p>
<p>I'll try to do a good scan of one of my copies soon.</p>

<p><br></br> Bill: I would need to go thru my Audio collection to find the specific issue. I have them thru the end of publication, but they are currently in storage about 100 miles from my current home. I think it would have been from the late '70's or early '80's. </p>

<p>I have one from the third printing in '78. Fortunately, it's in excellent shape with just a bit of yellowing around the edges. The Philharmonic schematic is clear enough that I may have it blown up.</p>
<p>BTW, which edition of Audio was it mentioned in, if you know?</p>

<p>I have Jan 1933 edition. Looks like the contents were from some service. 5x7 inches.</p>
<p>The heavy weight cover (front and back .. and middle pages 16 and 17) have the only references to E H Scott.</p>
<p>Inside front cover shows E H Scott copyright.</p>
<p>Kent may have an idea how many or how long Scott put this publication out.</p>
