EH Scott Radio Enthusiasts

I have had and restored a near mint remote control Sixteen in an Acousticraft cabinet and was aware of another one in Oregon.  The remote receiver without a dial is the Telematic, not a Sixteen/Eighteen.  To my knowledge no Telematic has been found to date.

Norman is correct - the Telematic is a mystery set, but is probably based largely on the Sixteen. I have a remote control 16 in an Acousticraft cabinet. I do not believe Scott could easily have built a remote 18 - here's why: The remote control Sixteen is a 15 tube set - to make room for the remote, they took out one tube and made it into a 6F8 dual triode - so they could still provide both functions but in one tube. Adding two more tubes for the scratch suppressor would not fit on the chassis, unless a couple tubes were migrated to the amp chassis.

Hummm. The diagram shows for the AW-18, the pair of 6J6 drivers are relocated to the amp chassis -  changing the standard 4 tube amp to a 6 tube amp, like the subsequent Phantom model 6 tube amp. So the pair of scratch suppressor tubes reside on the receiver in place of the two 6J5 drivers .

I see the problem.  The receiver is pretty crowded. For a remote control receiver, the extended tuning cap shaft to the preset housing occupies the space of one tube, leaving only one tube socket space  for the pair of scratch suppressor tubes.

Perhaps the resolution for a remote control option for an AW-18 be 1) to also move the converter tube 6J5 to the enlarged amp and 2) replace the amp's pair of relocated 6J5 pair with a 6F8 twin triode. Looks like the 7 wire set cable still be sufficient. Or is there hum issues moving the inverter so far from the 1st audio 6K7 ?

Probably never know, unless a remote control AW-18 shows up.
