Kent, If I may, one more question (lol, for today). I have Riders 14 out and I don't see where the phono is getting it's AC from. Donald

Hummm. The diagram shows for the AW-18, the pair of 6J6 drivers are relocated to the amp chassis -  changing the standard 4 tube amp to a 6 tube amp, like the subsequent Phantom model 6 tube amp. So the pair of scratch suppressor tubes reside on the receiver in place of the two 6J5 drivers .

I see the problem.  The receiver is pretty crowded. For a remote control receiver, the extended tuning cap shaft to the preset housing occupies the space of one tube, leaving only one tube socket space  for the pair of scratch suppressor tubes.

Perhaps the resolution for a remote control option for an AW-18 be 1) to also move the converter tube 6J5 to the enlarged amp and 2) replace the amp's pair of relocated 6J5 pair with a 6F8 twin triode. Looks like the 7 wire set cable still be sufficient. Or is there hum issues moving the inverter so far from the 1st audio 6K7 ?

Probably never know, unless a remote control AW-18 shows up.

Norman is correct - the Telematic is a mystery set, but is probably based largely on the Sixteen. I have a remote control 16 in an Acousticraft cabinet. I do not believe Scott could easily have built a remote 18 - here's why: The remote control Sixteen is a 15 tube set - to make room for the remote, they took out one tube and made it into a 6F8 dual triode - so they could still provide both functions but in one tube. Adding two more tubes for the scratch suppressor would not fit on the chassis, unless a couple tubes were migrated to the amp chassis.

I have had and restored a near mint remote control Sixteen in an Acousticraft cabinet and was aware of another one in Oregon.  The remote receiver without a dial is the Telematic, not a Sixteen/Eighteen.  To my knowledge no Telematic has been found to date.

Actually, there may be some remote control Scott 16's (and so, maybe model 18's). Would be like the Sixteen Robot  model - see the instruction manual in the set folders for the 16. The owner manual indicates the presence of the small rear phono socket. The remote control keyboard does operate the phono, which its modified a bit to allow operation of the phonograph by the keyboard (start, stop and reject). Such a receiver would, I believe, have the 21 pin Clinch Jones socket on the rear for the cable to the keyboard, like later remote control models have.

Anybody ever find a Sixteen Robot? Has no dial, maybe originally installed in a closet or perhaps in a Breamer console with no dial face and has only the 12 presets operated only by the keyboard. Might have the obscure Program Selector Clock where a radio dial would normally be.

The phonograph is not part of a Scott, so would not be the Scott section of Riders.

Kent's AW-18 is not in a radio/phono credenza like the Linden. (his has a Scott Phantom)

Your credenza style cabinet may have an actual brown bakelite duplex 115 volt AC socket screwed to the floor or low on the side near the amp, with its own power cord. Both the radio and phonograph power plugs go there. The Phono has its own power cord and have an on/off switch. 

Later Scotts had a small 4 pin socket on the rear apron, that might be wired for both audio input and AC power and operate the phono, but doubt the AW-18 did that unless your radio has the remote control option with station presets. 

The Wave Change control is the band switch. The "P" position on the band switch stands for "phono" and merely connects the volume control to the phono terminal on the rear of the receiver. It does not operate the phonograph.
