"Yep, be rare now. Most probably trashed as obsolete and/or no longer functional ... and replaced with newer 3 speed phonos long ago. just keep checking and be patient.
Meanwhile, maybe consider a newer vintage one. Older 3 speed changers like…"
"I only play the 10" so no worries there. Still thinking this is the needle in the

"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…"
"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…"

For another radio, start separate…"
"Actually, there may be some remote control Scott 16's (and so, maybe model 18's). Would be like the Sixteen Robot model - see the instruction manual in the set folders for the 16. The owner manual indicates the presence of the small…"
"The phonograph is not part of a Scott, so would not be the Scott section of Riders.
Kent's AW-18 is not in a radio/phono credenza like the Linden. (his has a Scott Phantom)

"So, you have what we call the model Eighteen or AW-18. It is 1937-8 model Sixteen with the optional dynamic scratch suppressor 2 tube circuit with a 2nd push/pull switch below the tuning knob. Increased the tube count to 18.
A rare model. Kent has…"
"Got the picture, thank you so much. Now I need to find an appropriate changer. According to one member, it should be a Garrard RC6 but wished me well finding one.
