Regarding the "late" Super 12. Means has 2 additional controls for 6 total plus tuning knob. Has 6V6's on the receiver and a one tube power supply with 5U4.
Control layout and round brass escutcheons per my manual insert read thus:
Selectivity TUNIING Wave Change
A/C & Volume Bass
Radio-Phono Sensivity
A rare version offered only couple months, I believe in preparation for the successor 14 tube Scott Masterpiece - basically having beefed up audio with added push pull driver stage. I have the 14 tube version and it sounds better, especially with a CD player into the phono input.
