Ok folks, I need some ideas. I have an AW23 tuner that has significant hum. And it is the tuner: running this tuner on a different amp/speaker, there is hum. Running a known good tuner on this…Continue

Two Philharmonic sets for sale
Hey all...I have two Philharmonic sets taking up space and I won't be finding time to do anything with them...so I am putting them out here. The first is a red band deluxe (1939). This set has caps replaced and does play but needs additional work. The second is a 1937 pointer dial set with the "Chicago" dial. This set is unrestored but complete. Both sets include a tuner, amp and a 15 in speaker.…See More

Thanks, that is a new serial number in the database. Given the number, it was probably built in the summer of 1935. We can't be more specific, everything we know is inferred from a handful of known serial numbers. You can find manuals…"

ContinuePhilharmonic IF wiring - schematic errors
Posted on November 11, 2024 at 10:50am 7 Comments 0 Likes
I'm working on a 1939 Beam of Light Philharmonic Deluxe and noticed a wiring error (ok, maybe)...in looking at the schematics available, it gets worse. Refer to the 3 images attached as needed. Here we go:
In the 1937 schematic, and in most sets I've worked on, pin 8 (cathode) and pin 5 (grid #3, usually tied to the cathode) go directly to ground. Pin 5 (at ground) is used as a tie point for the "pass through" caps in the IF cans. In the 1939 schematic, it looks like Scott added a…

This is the beginning of a running blog on updates to the files saved in the Info Archive. This morning, I updated the file "Milsets.pdf" in the WWII Sets folder. Fellow member Angelo found some new US Govt documentation on the WWII sets and I have updated the file with a few new bits of info. More to come soon.

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?
Thanks you, Bill Whelan

Kent;
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.
Joe
If 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.

Kent;
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.

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

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!
