"Yep. Heavy with those big transformers.   Kent has a Scott branded example of the Radio Craftsman tuner, offered as a companion to the Scott Lab phono console introduced in 1947 called the Scott MUSICALE, which incorporated the 4 tube H H Scott…"

"Thank you for the comments and suggestions. Once the 120v power cord is replaced I'll try the banana plugs and sort out which one is ground and which is positive. This tuner's power supply amp is the heaviest I have ever seen or lifted,…"

"I now see you put some photos on this site. The dial and controls appear to be a proper Scott Labs product.  (The EH Scott Labs era ended when Mr Scott lost control of his company in 1944. Soon "E H" was dropped from name to just…"

"I suppose it would if it is a preamp tuner which it must be since the power supply is a stand alone power amp"

"Thank you for that information. Too bad Scott did not identify those connections better to aid future novices. Also I'm guessing such a 2 pin socket connector is unobtanium. Perhaps the connection can be re-done for a more practical &…"

"The speaker connection is a two pin socket located to the right of the power cord.  The four pin connection next to the speaker connection is to power up a turntable.  The speaker socket is wired for a eight ohm speaker."

"I rarely see a tuner using a RCA or RCA's for speaker connections. I have only seen it on some old tube power amplifiers for consoles such as Magnavox or Motorola. This 1510 tuner chassis has a 120v power plug so it actually powers the power…"

"It is a pre Liberty Music tuner. Connection to power supply via multi pin plug. I'm still clueless on where the speaker connection is."

Maybe someone here can please help me figure out the speaker connection? I have cleaned the knobs, polished and waxed the chassis to include power supply. Tubes tested and some metal ones substituted with glass equivalents. Everything looks very well kept. Minimal corrosion. Maybe one cap replaced in the power supply. I know a lot of members here only accept the older 'real' E H Scott models but for me this is close enough and not overly complex. I don't want shortwave. Anymore of a boat anchor…See More

On the 1510 I'm guessing the connections that may be for speakers are actually for AM & FM antennas?
