"I'm not convinced. The presentation plaques are bright nickel hence photographs show what is reflected, not the face of the plaque. If the plaque is reflecting a dark surface, the plaque will appear dark. In the newsletter,…"
"I do not know who Joe procured the set from. There are only three Warwick Grande consoles in collector captivity and the cabinet design was influenced by Rudy Vallee.

"There were approximately 25 Scott Special Communications Receivers built. The recording setup in the Warwick Grand did not use separate record amplifier.
Norman "
"That is a nice radio in a scarce cabinet."
"There are several indications that this cabinet was not intended to house the Scott AC-10 including the fact that the power amplifier and speaker do not fit properly and that the cabinet style is about three years newer than the chassis set.
Norman"
"Some members here purchased some on EBay a while back only to learn they were purchasing lots of five! I am not one of those. Perhaps one of them will respond.

"Scott-Tausher sound board. It was intended to mitigate the beam effect of sound coming from a curvalinear speaker cone. In practice it muffled all sound from the speaker making it more of a sales gimmick than a sound improvement. …"
"That style cabinet was not available earlier than around 1937. It sure extends the definition of homely!

"Remove the tuners from the chassis. Connect modern handheld digital capacitance meters to each section. Starting with the rotor set one sector from fully un-meshed, adjust the first sector such that all sections have equal…"
"The vertical shaft can be 180-degrees out of phase with the horizontal shaft without the gear box being dismantled. Furthermore the wafer switch behind the front panel may be 60-, 120-, 180-, 240- or 300-degrees out of phase if one had removed…"
"Wow! Allwave 27. If I were closer I would pay a visit to the museum to see that set.

"Robert, you procured the RC-50 from Stephen Masik. I was the one who informed you that Stephen had the changer available.

"For clarity, Murray Clay was instrumental in development of Scott's FM receivers. EH Scott Radio Laboratories produced high fidelity AM receivers prior to Mr. Clay's employment with EH Scott Radio Laboratories.
Norman"
"The Phantom Deluxe was never offered with FM. Only the AM-FM Phantom was offered with FM.
Norman"
"No rubber feet. It was up to the customer to bolt the chassis to the cabinet or to have the authorized Scott representative bolt the chassis to the cabinet. Most did not. Some did.

Carr Fire
Posted on August 1, 2018 at 11:41am 3 Comments 0 Likes
As some of you know, the Carr Fire has exacted a great toll in the City of Redding and surrounding area. My house and half of my collection was the first visited by the fire in the devastated Lake Redding Estates neighborhood with no advance notice to evacuate and no fire trucks around. Fortunately the house and collection were spared. Unfortunately, however, I have learned that the house and collection of an acquaintance including several pre-war Scott receivers was lost and that another…

Norman, glad you personally are OK. Threats from fire are unnerving.

Mighty glad to become a member of this organization. I look forward to many conversations in the near future. Currently I'm working with Bill Bryan to find an A.W. 15 to add to my collection. Incidentally, Norm you have been invaluable at helping me with my A.W. 23 and A.W. 12, dual dial and thank you for the invite.

- That's how sad that screwup made me feel.
Better than some of the celebrity mugshots I have seen. Kinda rivals Gary Busey's mugshot.
