"Kent...Thanks for the advice. I tried to explain about leaky capacitors and positive grid biases but it went nowhere. Glad I was there to yank the cord! I'm going to reserve this for the winter. Looks like a long and careful process but I have…"

"Thanks Kent. Against my strong advice, my nephew powered up the set and did hear some static and noisy control sounds so I think it will be straightforward. I quickly pulled the plug! Good to know you have some spare parts if needed. I'm not…"

Need help identifying this Scott receiver
Hello! New to the forum here and hope someone can help me identify this Scott receiver. See photos of the full front view and a closeup of the dial and control area. The only label I could find has a serial number: EE 435. The radio has two eye tubes and covers several HF bands.
