"Brian -
You've got an Allwave 12 Deluxe in the Regent cabinet, based on the serial number, I'd estimate Jan 1934.

"Everyone - related to serial number research:
If you have an Allwave 15 set with a "Z" prefix, please reach out to me. I have some specific questions about the Aw15 sets in this prefix.
Thanks!Kent"
"Christopher -
Could you post a copy of the "New 1930 model" document, I do not believe I've seen that before. And if possible, I'd love to get a scan of the instruction manual.
I have an AW23 in my collection that I purchased…"
"I'll add to Dave's comment: the reference that says a 126 is a substitute is totally wrong. A 126 (x26) is an AC triode. As dave noted, the 12-20 is a ballast tube (big resistor). If it works, re-glue it and keep going, you won't find…"

OK - many things to respond to. I did attach these two items, they may be of interest. The 2A7/55 was the "final" AW15 design by Scott. The 2A7 is far superior as an RF stage than the 58. And a 55 is far easier…"

"Dave P reminded me I had a modified type 55 tube sent by Scott in 1946 to replace a Wunderlich. Went and found it and tested it in an Allwave Deluxe tonight. You can't hear any difference-replace the Wunderlich with the special 55 and it plays…"

EVERYONE!!
Later this summer there will be some news on Scott serial numbers. I've submitted an article to the AWA Journal for publication, Part 1 of a 2 part update on how Scott assigned the numbers. I am collecting data to further refine this information and add some info for the 2nd part. What I could use from all of you folks:
1. Phantom sets - a picture of the face with the serial number (you don't have to send a pic of the plate, just the face and the associated…

This is from the "Sylvania News", No. 4 March 1936. What do you think? Certainly looks like an Allwave 23 on the right.

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!
