"Hi Zach ! The SLRM is a GREAT radio. I have one. I "restored" it some years ago. All I did was replace the 4 power supply electrolytic condensers with ones I had made by Hayseed Hamfest, replace the two power input RF bypass condensers…"

"Problem fixed. As Norman suggested there were poor connections to the stators on the tuning capacitor. There was no corrosion present. Over time the phenolic insulators had yielded to pressure from the screws allowing the screws to come loose. All 3…"
"I had a similar problem with mine, Oscillator finally quit. Tube was bad. Replaced it and seems to be fixed. I have a second chassis that I have totally rebuilt. Also, a service bulletin recommending a direct connection of cathode to ground and .05…"
"Thanks Norman. I will take a look at those items. I have not removed the tuner so far."
"Parasitic oscillation. Have you removed the tuner, loosened and re-tightened the screws holding the solder lugs to the stator sections? If not, resistance in the machine screw connections to the stators is a likely cause. Another…"
Problem with AW 23 Oscillator
Nearing completion of restoration of my AW 23 7 knob.One significant problem remains. Something happens when tuning the lower frequencies on the red and green bands. As I tune towards the lower frequencies on these bands something happens to the oscillator circuit. Reception goes quiet after a big noise (loud pop) and enough current is being drawn that the neon regulator bulbs go dark. My scope shows that the oscillator is still running.Not sure if it is still on the correct frequency…See More

On/off AC toggle switch
Posted by Scott Dickson on July 2, 2023 at 7:14pm 9 Comments 0 Likes
Scott Radio Friends,
I need some help. I am finishing a restoration of a Scott Warrington cabinet. Everything is place except one thing.
I need a working on/off ac toggle switch.
Here's the catch. While the exit bore hole is .5 inches in width... the depth is also just over .5 inches wide. It is .75" thick wood...
The larger initial hole is 1.5 inches and @.2 deep. This means I need switch with a stem around .75 inches to make sure the toggle clears through the hole…

To members: I came across this February 1935 issue of Broadcast News online. It has a fascinating discussion on High Fidelity broadcasting, which was in its infancy, and the challenges at hand. The story has a relevance to E.H. Scott Radio Laboratories because Murray Clay came from RCA as and electrical engineer in their radio licensing division just before this article was written. As many of you know Clay was instrumental in helping Scott develop their High Fidelity receivers based on…
