Started this discussion. Last reply by David C. Poland on Saturday. 7 Replies

Started this discussion. Last reply by steve parr Apr 16. 2 Replies

Hello All, I recently found a mystery power supply/output chassis that looks like Scott but I'm not sure. I thought I would ask the group here if anyone has an idea what it is and what it belongs to.…Continue

"The Craftsman tuner (FM or AM/FM - has a chrome plated chassis) is a good pairing for the Scott Musicale. I think Kent has an example that says Scott instead of Craftsman. There is a Craftsman tuner listed on eBay."

"As Norman said, I do not know of anyone that has a Musicale in a cabinet. It is a contemporary to the Metropolitan. Here is a picture of the unit I have (less the speaker, which is the same as the Metropolitan). Basically a nice preamp and final amp…"

"A Scott Musicale?  That's something I've never heard of or seen.  I looked up a picture of one, and it appears to be from the 800B/late 1940s era.  Am I correct?  "

"I have noticed this too, and not just for radio information. I think there are several reasons that it is happening. First, Google has gone all-in on sponsored ads and corporate first search results. I find using the smaller search engines gives…"

"Ha!  Made me go look.  The Musicale in my possession does not have markings under the preamplifier chassis.  I'm pretty sure I procured the one I have from a fellow in Red Bluff who had saved the chassis and speaker from a…"

"FYI - if you have the outboard Scott crossover, and the flange mount 15 inch speaker with small 5 pin plug that fits the crossover, then any 16 ohm permanent magnet tweeter is ok once you find the 2 pin plug that fits the tweeter socket(s) on the…"

"Based on that serial number, the set was probably built in Q1 1941. Beautiful chassis, as Dave said. "

"Thanks for the information. I did get the power supply/amp, speaker, crossover, and phono preamp as well. There were no tweeters however. All are in excellent condition. It took very little to get the set playing with just a few issues such as…"

"Nice looking example. If all the chrome is that nice, you have a great example. And correct knob set. I do not have what you need. Do you have the power supply (has 4 6L6's) and speaker(s)? Go to top of this site page and open SCOTT INFO…"

Anyone have a set of escutcheons for a beam of light set? Would like to have a complete set with front panel, but at least the large tuning dial brass escutcheon is needed for a set I am building. Thanks

Question for anyone with AW15 restoration experience.

Have a nice 15 (late) and had the radio working and tuning the broadcast band until the band switch started to loosen.

The set screw on the collar just before the shaft enters the gear box became loose. (Don’t touch anything if this happens to you!)

Needless to say, exact position for the turret, the antenna contact points eccentric cam…
