Jon, I'm new to this group and found your restoration of a Scott AC 10. I happen to have one myself and have had it for over 30 years. I have all parts of the radio including turntable and cabinet. I have also have some rare documentation. I'm a senior citizen and doubt I will ever do anything with it. I'm interested in selling or trading this rare radio.  Let me know your thoughts. Thanks
