I am in the process of restoring a Phantom Deluxe remote control chassis. It uses the later, long amp. For testing, I pulled the 15 inch speaker out of my other Phantom Deluxe in the Stratford, and…Continue

I've had my AW15 in the Lido cabinet for over 30 years. Recently, it quit playing. This is significant because it was still sealed with rivets. To repair it, I was going to open a time capsule. I was…Continue

"Great! The trimmer went out today via Priority Mail. - Kent"
"No worries, it will go out today. Postage is absolutely crazy anymore...thanks, and good luck with the set. Also, have you noted in the 800B materials here, there is a small modification for the amp, it will greatly improve the bass response.…"

Sorry about the name mix up...but good news: I have the trimmer you need out of one of my parts chassis. Email me at kent3256@hotmail.com and we can exchange the particulars.

"David - I have a couple parts 800B chassis...you are welcome to the part if it is there. It might take me a day or so to get to them and see if it's available.

"Hi Bret.
I also have a 7 knob Super 12 ser# WW-223. (unrestored, but complete.) I judge it later Super 12 production of Spring 1939 with the revised control layout being a prelude to the 7 knob arrangement of 14 tube Masterpiece introduced…"

"OK, so I took a good light and looked at all the AW12 Deluxe sets I have here. I can see a very faint line in each, most of the ones I have are so faded you can't tell they had a blue (or any) stripe. The set I have on the Napier is the worst -…"
"My AW-12 w AVC late production (W-114) has the blue/white mother of pearl dial strip.
The blue has faded to a faint grey, but is still noticeable."
"I'm pretty confident that all AW-12 Deluxe dials were blue/white to start with. Over time and with exposure to light the blue and white both fade to clear. Here is what an NOS AW-12 Deluxe dial scale looks like"
Small differences
I've been doing a lot of detailed work on some Scott sets lately and I've had the opportunity to notice numerous small differences between sets of the same model.THis phot is one example...I've seen a number of Allwave Deluxe (12 tube) sets over the years. The dial on the left is (was) blue on the logging scale. The one on the right is more commonly found on AW12 sets. Does anyone else have a dial split in half, blue/white, vs the all white "mother of pearl" look?Also: on the AW12 Deluxe sets,…See More
"Trust it. The worst that might happen is it will go "open" and the set will quit.

"I also have a walnut cabinet...I really love the oak version!

"Very nice! All great items to keep with the set.

"Also, since you know you are the 2nd owner - do you have any documentation or other info on the set?

The FM Phantom that wasn't
Posted on March 14, 2021 at 10:40pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
So this interesting chassis landed here this weekend, thanks to fellow member Dave Poland. He brought me a Phantom Deluxe, but I quickly realized, it was originally supposed to be an FM Phantom. In the first two pictures, note the plugged tube holes and the plugs and extra holes on the side of the chassis.…
AW23 Alignment issue
Posted on October 6, 2020 at 5:06pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
Looking for ideas - I haven't dug into this too far yet.
I recapped an AW23 (late) and I'm now working on the alignment. Voltage checks were in spec. IF alignment went right by the service data and trimmed out nicely. By the time I got back to the 1st IF, I had significantly reduced the generator output to keep the meter from going over - gain was excellent. On to AM band - 1400 trimmer is super close, slight tweak and then dial down to 600. At about 750, the two neon VR tubes…

Picked up this one at an auction in Indiana. Disgustingly dirty, but salvageable. Had the 15 in speaker, tweeters, and a Tauscher sound board! Cabinet is good to start...the whole set will require a lot of work but will be saved.

All - The moderators removed an account that was a bit "phishy" today. We try hard to keep these folks off the forum, but every once in awhile, one gets in. Please ignore/delete any questionable messages and let's keep on talking Scotts!

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.

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!

I will be working on the late 800B schematics as time permits.

Kent;
I have been cleaning up the schematic for the early (Feb. 1946) schematics for the 800B. Here are those two pages. I am working on another page that combines the radio tuner circuit and the electric tuning circuit on one page. The paper size is printable on 11 X 17 inch paper for the two files included here.
