"Hi Robert, sent you a Friends request so we can PM. Yes I'm interested in the complete set, and, if the converter is not spoken for, I'd like that as well. Thanks, Karl"

I know the Milton Grande cabinet is some what rare and I'm hoping someone is interested in this nice project. This radio is being sold as found, as is. Untested and uncleaned. The previous owner…Continue

"Karl,
I didn't reply sooner because I just saw your message. I actually just decided to sell the converter. So I would be willing to sell The Philharmonic. Are you interested in it all or just the Tuner?"
"Robert, probably premature, but keep me in mind if you decide to sell the Philharmonic. It's in better shape than the one I have... Thanks, Karl"
"The brass collars were also used in the early Model 20 receivers. The retaining tabs often break off when removing the collar to replace a corroded one on a breadboard model hence the glue. Model 20 receivers are common and cheap. …"
"I'm sure I've got a short pin 01A, I'll have to dig it up - give me a few days. I'm not as confident on the brass piece...

"Kent,
I need the brass base for the tube socket that holds the 201A tube. On the tube island where the detector and audio amplifier tubes are one is missing. It is just glued in. I also need a short pin…"
"What parts do you need for the AK? Pictures? I might have something buried in my old stuff - 30 years ago, before my Scott days, I had a large AK collection and the odd piece falls out of boxes now and again.

"I had both of those chrome chassis already so it is likely the previous owner had reported all of them. I don't track the SG9 numbers (too few) but from what I know, that's a fairly low number. Most are over 1000, the lowest I've seen…"
"Nice find, especially the FM converter. "
"The serial numbers are Philharmonic: # GG-356, Allwave 23: # X-365, and the Scott shield grid unit: #939. I did not get the other ones but I may be able to get them. I'll work on it.

"Robert - sorry!! And yes, the long cable is the power pickup for the FM converter. There is a manual for the converter in the Archive. Those are fairly desirable by itself, so it is a great find!
Kent"
"Ron - Please send me the serial numbers of the sets? Did you capture the numbers of the ones that got away?
Kent"
"Norm. It has a long cable that was plugged into one of the 6l6 tube sockets on the amp. Is that correct? I would assume that's how it gets its power.
Robert"
"Thanks for posting Ron. The preselector is an FM band converter allowing the Philharmonic to receive FM stations on the modern FM band.

"Here are pics of the speakers and the Allwave 23. I will try to add pics of the speakers for the Allwave soon"
Local auction finds
Well yesterday the local auction house here in central Florida had some interesting radios.They had 5 Scott radios, and AK 9C, and I took home three Scotts and the AK. A Philharmonic, Allwave 23, and an AC-10. The other two that got away were an Allwave 15 and another Philharmonic. Unfortunately all were in homemade cabinets. They looked good from afar but not so up close. They did come with speakers and amplifiers so that is nice. The 15" pedastal on the Philharmonic has been reconed. Aslo it…See More
