Hello Carlos,

I saw that you have some interest in the Scott FM converter. I plan to replicate the converter. Rather than dedicate it to one receiver I plan to make a stand alone unit with its own power supply. That way I can use it with several receivers that have the old FM band. When finished I will share my work with the group.

I saw your photo album and was very impressed with your AW 12 and Napier cabinet. I have an AW 12 along with other tuner units. I only have a few Scotts with cabinets. I like the Napier and would like to see if any local craftsman could build one for me so I could display my AW12. Would you give me the basic dimensions of the Napier cabinet. I assume that only the power supply/audio amplifier and speaker are housed inside the cabinet. Does it have a hinged lid? What is the grill cloth pattern--the Aztek or the musical note.

I am somewhat new to the Scott collecting. My retirement business is the restoration of tube type ham radio equipment. My business is W3HM Radio Labs (you can Google me). I mailnly restore Collins radio equipment. I live 100Km NW of Washington, D.C. in the eastern part of the state of West Virginia.

Thanks in advance,

Howard Mills
