I can send the money for the power supply Wednesday. Let me know how and where to send it. iI have used paypal in the past. Thanks Thom. 6448 S Fairfield Ave. Chicago, Il 60629. 7737324913
Hi Mr. King- I trust you have seen many of the customer cabinets that EH Scott customers commissioned in the 1930. I a trying to identify if this cabinet originally has EH Scott electronics installed in it. If not, any ideas?
I hope this attachment works. I finished the composite figures 26 and 30 for the Late version 800B. I found this helpful in tracing out the electric tuning arrangement of the 800B receivers.
JoeIf this turns out to not be satisfactory resolution and detail, let me know and I will try sending the *.pdf file which is 5.3MB.
I took a closer look at the Late 800B parts radio tuner chassis that I have. It is SN 6182 and I found its final test stamp inside the preset tuning assembly backplate and the date is Jan 15, 1947. So that one can be added to your database.
I took the time to take a good photo of the Late version 800B AM SW RF compartment underneath. This unit has never had any parts replaced in that area, so this part of it is unmolested. I had just noticed that the Early version SN 1035 that I have had already been worked on and there were some changes to bypass capacitor placement that I do not agree with. My intent is to put it back as close to original lead dress and parts placement as possible. Sometimes changes in part placement and lead dress can cause significant problems to develop and result in inability to properly align RF circuits.
Yes I am willing to contribute these for fellow members and others use. I enjoy doing this type of work. I was originally in product documentation at Collins Radio which included doing schematics.
That's great...when you get them done, I will post them in the archive if you are willing. All such work helps everyone here. That is what this forum is all about!
I have been cleaning up the schematic for the early (Feb. 1946) schematics for the 800B. Here are those two pages. I am working on another page that combines the radio tuner circuit and the electric tuning circuit on one page. The paper size is printable on 11 X 17 inch paper for the two files included here.
I would like the serial number for my research. Actually, rechroming a 23 will probably cost as much (if not more) than locating a nice chassis....so it you want to get it operating, I'd say "Go for it". You are right, even if it isn't pretty, you will be able to make it play, and it will sound great. It's worth the effort! If you need anything along the way, just ask, folks here are always glad to help!
I am not sure what to do with this one. I thought I may be able to strip it and re-crome, but that would stretch my abilities quite a bit. I'm sure I could get it to work if it was just a re-capp and resistor/coil check, its not so difficult electrically. All the parts are there. The cabinet is nice, the original owner stripped it so it just needs a refinish. I really don’t want to pay much for a good chassis, so I am not sure what to do. I'll have to check the serial number and get back to you.
That is the Scott FM converter...it changes 88-108 FM down to 42-50 so that the older FM tuners could receive the modern band established post-war. The 717A tubes are used in a number of higher frequency applications. If your device has 5 or 6 of them, it could be most anything....

Kent, got a quick question. In photos 19 thru 24 of your photos, what is that device? I have something like that has either 5 or 6 of those tubes.
Kent.....thank you..... I would love more information on the Sheraton cabinet with a Laureate chassis - if you could provide some PDF's that would be wonderful. This has been sitting in the corner of my Great Grandfathers cabin ever since I was young.....I never realized what it was until last summer when I uncovered it and looked at it....but I finally took some pictures so I could ask about it. Thank you again for your time.....I may bug you again with a few more questions when I take a look at it closer this Spring when I am up North at the cabin! Renee:). If you'd like to email the PDF's my e-mail is renee54636@charter.net Thanks:)
In a post you mentioned having a check list for the allwave 23. Is there a link to that here?
Having a new transformer made and want to be sure everything else is good. The power supply had been re capped at some point. Haven't looked at the main chassis yet except to determine that it needed one tube which I have replaced. I have the operation and service manuals coming from Great Northern.

Thanks you! I have added your cleaned up diagrams to the Scott Info Archive 800B folder. Your work is greatly appreciated!

Hi Kent,
Working on pics and serial #'s, but what is meant by the term "Serbs"?
Thanks, Darrell

I'll have to dig it out of the garage tomorrow. Maybe I can find out more info from google, now what I know it is.
