Leonid,
Very nice Acousticraft and very honest collector.
Hope this radio find a good home :-)
I am sure it will. Pity it's not me...

Hi Kent,
The serial numbers for my two AW23 units are F-641 and M-503.
Kindest regards,
Bob
The seller purchased this contrivance at a local auction for $575 plus comission and tax while I was driving home from LA with an RCA Berkshire Secretary in tow. He was frustrated that he had to pay so much! I was hoping that it would be purchased by someone interested in fixing it up.

Thank you for the serial number....looking at the photos, you've got a nice set there. Chrome looks good and the Acousticraft cabinet is a very nice example. Please send me your email address and I will send you some PDF files; copies of the Scott information on the model 16.

Kent, also new to this forum and thought you might want the S/N of my Scott.Philharmonic AM-FM A little background on the radio, I have had it since the mid 1970s. It is my understanding that in 1972 it was in a repair shop which flooded. Fortunately for the radio its chassis and power supply were upstairs on the bench, unfortunately the cabinet and speaker were destroyed in the flood. I believe that was a Warrington cabinet as I remember it I acquired it shortly after and built a box for it and got it operational. I also made slight modifications back in the 70s to the power supply to permit the use of a PM speaker. (It can easily be put back to original though if I decide to get an original speaker.) Currently I am using a JBL 12 inch, two tweeters, and midrange which sounds great.
I have used it .since then for SWL and have done recapping and maintained it in good condition. Chrome is good, slight pitting on a couple spots but otherwise polishes up beautifully. Currently I am debating whether to try to either have a copy of the original cabinet made or put it in a home-built cabinet with a plexiglas cover to display the chassis while protecting it from damage.One I can do myself, the other is beyond my abilities and would obviously be expensive.
S/N is RR-344, no other documentation. I do have a photocopy of the service info though. Appreciate any other background the number may provide.

Unfortunately, the RR prefix can't tell me much. Every "RR" set is a Philharmonic. I only have one date in the series and it is one of the lower numbers....and besides, since you have an FM Phil, we know it is probably 1941. I wish I could tell you more. If you send me your email, I can send you a PDF of the FM Phil owner's manual if you are interested.
