"12 41 would probably be the date code for the cabinet build, December 1941. The 533 is likely the numbers from the chassis serial number, possibly?"

"I have two opinions on this. I normally prefer to do my own restorations, so I like to buy relatively untouched chassis. I've experienced several nightmare sets that I've bought that were "restored" by others, only to have to…"

"Wow Kent! Quite the haul! I note a Philharmonic power supply (?) in the bottom right corner of your picture that must be made for 25 cycle power...I've never seen a Scott with a transformer that size!"

"Absolutely gorgeous!!!"

"Wow! Amazing!  I have some knobs here, that were moulded plastic copies of wood knobs, made 25 years ago when our local club was trying "new" technology of making molds with dental silicone...not nearly as nice as those! "

"Brad, until you find a suitable  Amperite tube, you can use a Variac during restoration and testing. based on your actual AC mains, you may be able to find another solution."

"Trust it. The worst that might happen is it will go "open" and the set will quit. Kent"

"I have an early AW12 with dual speakers I plan to put in my Orleans cabinet. I think the speaker V board will fit OK on the top shelf my cabinet man installed. Interestingly my AW12 does not have any tone control but luckily sounds very good with…"

"I have been looking for a voltage regulator tube that will give the +- 80 volts, with about 1200mA current flow, but so far I have been unable to find anything. I'm thinking I may have to make due with the one that is in it for now, even though…"

"regarding the 3rd version amp with Amperite line control tube, Citizen's Radio Call Book article from March 1930 issue about the Scott remote control option, has a  circuit diagram of the Amperite tube version amp indicating the power…"

"Wow! Amazing!  For a larger speaker, will you try to find a cast basket? Seems they would be super difficult to find, since by the time the large 12" and 14" speakers came out in the later 30's everyone seems to have moved to…"

"https://history.rockfordpubliclibrary.org/localhistory/?tag=rockford-peerless-furniture-co I can see in their earlier designs, why they created some stunning radio cabinets."

"The Orleans cabinet was made Rockford Peerless Furniture Co, Rockford IL."

"I prefer the upper speaker grill of the first version Orleans you have. More in harmony with the semi-circular design top of the door opening.  The one I have for the 1931 Orleans with Scott 2-Dial thus:Orleans%20with%20Scott%202-dial.JPG"

"Here are a couple close up shots of the front, with the doors open. I love how the doors have the cable "linkage" so they open in unison. Its little attention to details that makes Scott move above the rest! IMG_1890.JPG IMG_1891.JPG"
