Picked up this one at an auction in Indiana. Disgustingly dirty, but salvageable. Had the 15 in speaker, tweeters, and a Tauscher sound board! Cabinet is good to start...the whole set will require a lot of work but will be saved.

Scott SLRM National Radio R-302/URE-22 Connection

Hello all... I posted on that above subject here a few years ago regarding a very unusual National receiver I saw at a Nearfest NH hammer which looked like a Scott SLRM that had been converted to miniature tubes and had different power supply components. I recently came across what I believe I saw at Nearfest on Nick England, K4NYW’s Navy Radio web site. It was a National R-302/URR-22. Nick has info that National was awarded a contract to build modified REE receivers in 1949. REE was the Navy… Continue

Allwave 23

I have my Allwave 23 sitting next to a couple other radios, found this tag on the floor, belong to the Scott? If so where might it have been stuck? I don't see any places inside of the cabinet where this might have been. Also just starting to mount the receiver into the cabinet. Since this receiver was not bolted from the bottom how do you know when it is pushed forward enough? Stop when it is close to the inside front of cabinet, or should there be some sort of spacer, or stops on the…

Band switch lever for AW 15

Hello all. It's my understanding that this forum may be a source for the escutcheon and handle for the band switch on a E.H. Scott AW 15 radio. It would be greatly appreciated if you could head me the right direction on this. Thanks Steve Pierce

Phantom Deluxe Schematic

I need a schematic for a BFM Phantom Deluxe, Serial # TT-331, 22 tube receiver chassis and the mating power supply/audio chassis. In the meantime, I am referring to other Phantom documentation. Any suggestions?

WTB Philharmonic Beam of Light Escutcheon

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

Allwave 15 Bandswitch Position

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…

Scott 800-B6 My First Scott Radio.

Fellow enthusiasts,

I am working a beautiful original Scott 800-B6 that I picked up this fall. The unit was advertised on E-bay and located only about 3+ hour drive from where I live outside of Milwaukee, WI. So.... I went for it and ended up the winning bidder.

The story goes that it was once owned by a family in the LaCrosse, Wi area. Reportedly the family that originally owned the radio also happened to own a Ford dealership or two in that area. The story I was…

WTB Speaker for Scott Masterpiece

I picked up a tuner and amp at the recent radio auction in Indy, but no speaker. So I am looking for one. It has an octal plug on it and the speaker has two field coils:

One at 680 ohms and the other is 125+65 ohms (it is also split)

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Joe

E.H. Scott Historical Society - Scott News

I had to ask a friend to do me favor and make a copy of a paper published in Scott News in 1994. This "new" Scott News were published in 1990's. I wonder whether the issues of "Scott News" have been scanned and saved somewhere. My internet searches were futile. Thanks, Jiri

Just acquired :

Boys and girls,

I just got an Allwave 23 and a Model 16. More to be revealed, but the quick summary is both are in " good" original condition.

The Allwave chrome is not great, the Model 16 chrome is pretty nice.

Cabinets and grill cloth are original and appear to be restorable without refinishing.

Pictures tomorrow.

There may be more available as he sorts through…

Philharmonic AM/FM

Ever since I first heard of EH Scott radios and joined this forum, I've been looking for a Philharmonic to "fall into my lap". Well, when Ron R. sold me his Marine SLRM I saw his AM/FM Philharmonic sitting in the corner. When he offered it for sale, I knew I would own it, I just didn't know how soon. Now, a couple of months later, it's here in my possession. Thank you Ron!

This will be a major project including some re-chroming. I want to do the radio and Ron proud! I…

This chassis, the power supply chassis, speaker and instruction booklet were reputedly removed from a Sun Oil tanker many years ago. The chassis is complete except for the aluminum cover for the oscillator coil and in quite good condition. The date on some of the capacitors is 1933. The only coil pair is short wave, but I do not know for which band. The power supply chassis has been significantly and poorly modified, butchered really, possibly because if it was on a 1930s tanker the supply…

McMurdo Silver Maserpiece V filter chokes

One of the filter chokes in my Masterpiece V has started buzzing loudly. I've tried tightening the screws, shimming the winding and dipping the choke in wax all with little success so my thought is to have the choke rewound.

Does anyone know where I would find:

1. Where I would find the value of the MP5's filter chokes?

2. Who would perform this type of service?

3. Would it make sense to have both filter chokes rewound even though only one…
