Working on 3 Scott 800B-6's. Looking for 1 or 2 of the aluminum accessory loop antennas and…"

I am getting closer on the full rebuild of the Model 16 I recently acquired. A local fella is diggin it. He's the one with the degree in electrical engineering. He asked if I knew of any other Model 16…"
"Tom -
I got your PM, thanks. For everyone's reference: I'll take any serial numbers, even off "parts" sets. Thanks!

"I am not for certain right now. I took the first 800 i purchased. The lone spare 800 tuner I picked up while driving past Detroit (thought it might be nice to have options) back to Milwaukee area. And the 800-B6 (has the B6 decal…"
"Tom:
I think some of the earlier 800B sets were simply marked 800. Does your set labeled Model 800 have the pre-war FM band?

"Kent,
Are you trying to collect serial number on Model 16s or 800s or both?
Are you interested in numbers off of only complete sets or loose receivers as well because thus far I have a spare receiver for both the 16 & the 800 that I picked up…"

Your blog mentioned that you were interested in acquiring a Scott "16" … I have one that I would consider moving... It is in what I believe is an Aristocrat case. I have not run it for a number of years but did run then. I…"
"I was not aware the aluminum loop antenna was NOT stock to the unit. That would help to partially explain why you see relatively so few of them still attached to receiver units up for sale. That being the case and considering the overall…"
