"Randy -
While we do have drilling templates for some models, I am not aware of one for the Masterpiece. I could probably create one, but I won't be able to work on it for a couple weeks.

"Kent ,as you know, mine was complete, but without a cabinet. HH-328. Evidently little used as the shouldered Sylvania eye tube is as bright as new. Untested and "as found" with a full set of Sylvania tubes, including the local type. "
FM Tuners
So I got lucky last week and saw an FM Tuner without a cabinet on ebay BuyItNow, and I snagged it. It arrived with some travel damage (poorly packed), and it was a bit rough to start (missing tube shields, marginal chrome)...but it is the lowest serial number to date (HH-309) and makes the 12th unit I have record for. I'd like to hear from anyone with an FM Tuner (if you are willing to share) - pics, serial numbers (in case you have one I don't know about) and how many in cabinets? I already…See More

Scott parts and parts chassis at Kutztown
OK everyone: I am taking these boxes of shields and covers to Kutztown. They are not great examples, but many are pretty decent and might be upgrades for your sets. These parts will also be very reasonable. Also, in the second pic are parts chassis - I will bring these to Kutztown for $10 ea, PM me with your wants. Ask about other sets you don't see, I might have it. I…See More

I had noticed that even before it sold. There are really only two possibilities: (1) the first "red band" sets still had 7 knobs, or (2) the entire face and tuning mechanism was swapped at some point. The only way to tell will be to…"

ContinueScott Buildings in Chicago
Posted on August 1, 2025 at 12:35pm 1 Comment 3 Likes
I am in Chicago this weekend for the ARCI meet and presenting on Scott. Whenever I am in Chicago, I try to visit the old building at 4450 N Ravenswood Ave. On this trip, I also wanted to find the 3 sites used during (and after) WW2. 4525 N Ravenswood became the "civilian" offices for Scott during the war, and this small building still stands. 4541 is a larger building, known as "Factory #2" during the war. After the war and Scott's departure, 4541 became the main building until they moved to…

Hi Mr. King- I trust you have seen many of the customer cabinets that EH Scott customers commissioned in the 1930. I a trying to identify if this cabinet originally has EH Scott electronics installed in it. If not, any ideas?
Thanks you, Bill Whelan

Kent;
I hope this attachment works. I finished the composite figures 26 and 30 for the Late version 800B. I found this helpful in tracing out the electric tuning arrangement of the 800B receivers.
Joe
If this turns out to not be satisfactory resolution and detail, let me know and I will try sending the *.pdf file which is 5.3MB.

Kent;
I took a closer look at the Late 800B parts radio tuner chassis that I have. It is SN 6182 and I found its final test stamp inside the preset tuning assembly backplate and the date is Jan 15, 1947. So that one can be added to your database.
I took the time to take a good photo of the Late version 800B AM SW RF compartment underneath. This unit has never had any parts replaced in that area, so this part of it is unmolested. I had just noticed that the Early version SN 1035 that I have had already been worked on and there were some changes to bypass capacitor placement that I do not agree with. My intent is to put it back as close to original lead dress and parts placement as possible. Sometimes changes in part placement and lead dress can cause significant problems to develop and result in inability to properly align RF circuits.

Thanks you! I have added your cleaned up diagrams to the Scott Info Archive 800B folder. Your work is greatly appreciated!

Yes I am willing to contribute these for fellow members and others use. I enjoy doing this type of work. I was originally in product documentation at Collins Radio which included doing schematics.

That's great...when you get them done, I will post them in the archive if you are willing. All such work helps everyone here. That is what this forum is all about!
