The Scott radio hereby described was found in a miserable state of repair. It's steel chassis' and aluminum shields were originally chrominum plated, as were all Scott radios of this vintage. This Scott set was deeply rusted and corroded and probably should have been considered a 'write-off'. Undetered, the author stripped the set completely apart for replating and reassembled the set as nearly as possible to its original, manufactured state. Below are photos of its original state of disrepair.

Rear view of the tuner chassis. Note the rust on the steel and the bubbled chrome plating on the circular aluminum shield cans.

This is the power supply and power amplifier chassis. It is thoroughly rusted. Note one of the 2A3 output tube envelopes is cracked and the normally silvery gettering has turned white. Before proceeding with the details of repair, a liitle bit about the history of the E. H. Scott manufacturing company.

The E. H. Scott Radio Laboratories were established in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. in the mid-1920's. E. H. Scott had emigrated from New Zealand and became interested in radio in its early days. (To be continued....) Click here for the Scott All-Wave Schematic Diagram (pdf file) Return to Home Page
