I've been patiently waiting for the "right" cabinet, this one began life as an early FM GE phonograph, a optional cabinet of the same Radio now housing my 800b. Both with the full doors are difficult…Continue
Any guesses here ?

"Thanks Kent. Generally I'd be interested in how folks would use these ie if they were plugged into radios or stand alone ?"

As Norman said, this is an Export set (we have no idea about the name). See the Info Archive folder for full info on the Export. The SLRM has a very different dial face, but Scott had a lot of SLRM sets in production as the war came to an end…"
"Very nice. Your receiver is a Scott Export Receiver rather than an SLRM. The Export Receiver was a high fidelity receiver ostensibly for the consumer market.

"Thanks for your comment Bob.... long story but I have 2 MP6 now with Giants. One with yet another in-house custom cabinet. Let me know your travel plans North, snow this AM !

"Nice results.
You paint the chassis, or was it like that?"

Dave - I attended the auction and looked the early AW-23 Scott 5 knob radio over. No statement made of the working condition. I passed it up.
Sold for $750 plus 10% gallery fee plus 7 1/5% State tax - so pushing $890.
A lot of corroded chrome with some bubbling and pealing on the receiver and amp. Sovtec output tubes. The cabinet had been refinished with a rather flat finish which pretty well hid the beauty and depth of the fancy fiddle grain tropical Laurel veneers. Oil finish? The Richmond Designs repo Aztec speaker cloth (a darker 70% scale repo of the original gold cloth) has a bit of a green cast that, to me, did not compliment the blond cabinet.
I was not interested. Looked like more work that I was interested for result unsatisfactory to me. (I have an excellent example in that cabinet already.) Hope the buyer restores it, rather than parting it out, Properly restored electrically, a great sounding radio.

Be other variations much like Scott.
