"I shipped a Philharmonic in a cabinet in 2006 from Boston to New Mexico using Craters & Freighters and they did a great job. Back then I think it cost me $750. I'm sure it cost much more today.
Today we have USHIP. If you can get the…"
"I was hoping from the thread title, someone had found one.
To my knowledge, none have ever turned up. Another advertised model that's never been found is the McMurdo Silver Orpheon."

"Wow... tell us how you really feel about Mr. Silver, Mr. Scott! That was some dressing down Mr. Scott was giving Mr. Silver in that letter. I guess in the 1930s the country was still on the dirt road when it came to developing what we call today…"
"Interesting background on these models and take on the Scott use of the Masterpiece name. Thanks David!"
"Thanks for the info. Kent. This radio was produced in an interesting time period at Scott with the aquisition of McMurdo Silver's assets from their bankruptcy. In some ways the Scott Masterpiece was an extention of where McMurdo was going with…"
"Hi Kent... how many of these Masterpiece serial numbers do you now have?
David"
"Hi Kent...
A Scott Masterpiece showed up in a local estate auction last week and I picked it up. The serial number is: NN 263. It has the original amp. The bonus I guess was that instead of the original 12" speaker the radio had a really…"
