Here's a link to a Scott Allwave ad I've never seen before! It was in a February 1933 issue of Radio Stars Magazine. Not your traditional E.H. Scott advertising approach to selling his radios.…Continue

"There is no reason to believe that the cabinet in Joe Halser's collection is one of the two referenced in the news clipping. The recording equipment included with the AW-27 requiring the greater headroom was not being used by EH Scott…"
"Yes, the Joe Halser set has recording and playback equipment in the top compartment. This equipment required more headroom than the phonograph only models.

"Look at the top of the cabinet I posted and look at Norm's, the top on the one I posted is taller and the carvings on the top sides is different. This radio cabinet is one of these two cabinets mentioned in this story, that's why it a…"
"I was just showing the paperwork and speakers for others who might be interested as I know you have the paperwork.
I would have at least kept the speakers for myself, but my hands were tied on that deal. "
"Yes, I have the paperwork and am aware of the original speaker complement. There is one other example in collector captivity that I know of and that is the one that Rudy Vallee gave to one of his assistants and is also documented in…"
"This is "as found" condition. Norman, are there any other known examples?"

"Actually the plastic is thin and they are all, even rectangular ones, subject to breakage. The two sets with the V pointers are 252 and 254, with 254 really looking like the SN photo. But the lowest serial number (251) has rectangular units, as does…"

"The knobs and tuning pointers on my set are (by far) the most common. Six sets have these knobs, 3 have the solid round knobs, only one known has the white pointers. The tuning indicators are 8 rectangular - so that wins by far. One of the sets that…"
"Kent,
More great information, again thanks for sharing! Interesting that there are several sets of knobs used. Which knobs were the most commonly found on the 10 survivors? I also noticed that in the photos in the October 1939 Scott News that two…"

Phantom or Masterpiece set of Brass backplates wanted
Posted on March 13, 2021 at 12:19pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
I'm working on finishing a Masterpiece radio project and I'm trying to round up some missing parts. I'm looking for a set of brass backplates that go behind the knobs for a Phantom or a Masterpiece. Does anyone here have a set of these they are willing to sell?
Thanks!
David
