Scott Metropolitan Repair in Midwest
I mostly collect accoustic cylinder and disc phonographs, but I have some radio/phonographs. I was lucky to stumble across a gorgeous unit a EH Scott Metropolitan. The changer and the amp work, it has been recapped at some point. Cosmetically it’s fantastic, just a wonder to behold, but the tuner is dead, I get nothing not even static with a decent antenna. This is…See More

a long shot, but maybe you can repair the old field coil:
- check that the outside lead connection to the actual winding wire is good, and re-solder connection.

Scott AW23 tweeter info needed.....
I have a 7077A tweeter with an open field (for the early AW23). It should be 2500ohms. Has anyone found a source/business to rewind these? Removing the coil was easy, but rewinding would be tedious by hand. Anyone done so? Know the wire gauge and turns?See More

"Thanks. I'll brush up the lettering and leave the rest alone."
"They never had a bright finish the first place. They had a tarnished finish with raised lettering smooth and in some cases slightly brighter than the rest of the escutcheon.

Phantom Deluxe Escutcheons
Good morning all. I'm finishing up the cabinet restoration on my Phantom Deluxe and I have a question about the escutcheons. They appear to be brass or brass plated. Should they be polished nice and shiny or left with the dull patina of age. Also, should the raised lettering be black or left brass colored? ThanksTomSee More
"Is there anyone near Sugar Grove, Il. willing to give this set a proper alignment? I could put the owner in touch with whomever volunteers."

On/off AC toggle switch

Scott Radio Friends,
I need some help. I am finishing a restoration of a Scott Warrington cabinet. Everything is place except one thing.

Posted by David Wilson on May 31, 2023 at 10:24am 1 Comment 0 Likes
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…

Courtesy of fellow member Carlos in Spain, I was able to scan in a large group of Capehart manuals. This includes at least one phono sold by Scott. You can find these items in the Scott Info Archive > Miscellaneous > Capehart.
