Hi Dadbar, this is a solid state 330A, I think it's from about 1976 or so, not the old 330A tube model. Thanks for the reply just the same!.

Greetings, I have an HH Scott 330A receiver. everything works fine, including the AM band, but the FM band is dead silent. Antennas attached, fuses check okay, de-oxit on the band selector and other controls. Any hints as to the next most likely places to check would be appreciated. Thanks, Kurt

I have a manual, which to me is just a guide and provides schematics, additional info about the original parts and some verification. Many times the factory upgraded or, made changes, retro fitted new versions of parts and corrected blunders during the manufacturing years of a unit that might...

KKnight, unfortunately I'm out of DeOxit and hadn't cleaned any controls yet (which have always been smooth and quiet). I only re-soldered/re-flowed the pinouts on the boards (many of which appeared "bubbly", crystalline grey or weakly soldered before I replaced the two tran's. I did a cursory...

Started popping again. Thanks for the answers and replies. I didn't mean to start a thread within a thread, I want this to keep on topic with respect to the OP. To add a couple things that should be on topic to mention is not to overlook fixing bad or suspect solder joints/connections and to...

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I intend to go over the whole thing. As mentioned, when I put in the 1845s on the control board the set worked fine, briefly. So I don't think any outputs are blown. There's maybe something upstream of the two new tran's I put on control board that are shorting the...

Hope no one minds that I revive this thread for a moment. First, thanks once again Mark (and others) for sharing your knowledge and expertise! My SX-535 (a back-up unit) finally crapped out. It had been crackling intermittently thru the right channel for a while. Suddenly (but expectedly) the...

Different song than the one Springsteen sings. Johnny Todd's was a '50s Rockabilly type tune. Both are different from Aretha Franklin's Pink Cadillac (Freeway Of Love). I think there's probably are dozens of tunes titled or mentioning "Pink Cadillac" out there.

Haha, I see "Hey Little Cobra" by the Rip Chords mentioned! a true Car Tune Era car tune for sure. I'm ashamed I didn't think of it. The lead singer Richie is an acquaintance of mine. He's still around and gets his band together to do shows a few times a year, their hit tune Hey Little Cobra is...

"Pink Cadillac", by Johnny Todd [I think the original version] Great Rockabilly! and possibly a serious candidate here. Best cover I've heard of "Mercury Blues" goes to Jimmy Thackery And The Drivers. Who also did an original car related tune called "Doin' 100" that's pretty hot. Check 'em out...

:) Thank you for the welcomes! I've been popping in every now and again for a few months, when I have a few minutes to post, and I'll occasionally put up pic of the LPs or equipment. Back in the 70s a school chum loaned me a Savoy Brown "Blue Matter" 8-track. It blew me away! I couldn't...

Just enjoyed Hapshash and the Colored Coat's 1969 "Western Flier" LP. Strange stuff, not too polished but a nice change up! I think Big Bo Peep was a pretty cool cut, High energy to say the least with some jam-up piano from Mike Batt. ". . . .Big Bo Peep, she tastes so sweet"! Great psych-ish...

Just enjoyed Jukka Tolonen's "Hysterica" LP. Recently picked it on ebay surprisingly cheap (original 1975 pressing on the Love label). Listening now to Web's "I Spider" (CD, don't have the lp unfortunately). A minor Prog masterpiece, not a bad cut on the record.

The SX-9930 is a rare, higher end (for it's day) reciever. And very nice looking as well. As I understand it it was only made for one year, 1975, and only sold at US military PX's in West Germany. Though I have read in some threads here of units dating (via their serial number) into early 1976...

LPs: LESTER YOUNG/Prez And Teddy And Oscar (1976); DJAM KARET/Reflections From The Fire Pool (1989) CDs: DJAM KARET/Ascencion (2001); OZRIC TENTACLES; Spice Doubt Zappa is awesome. VERY underrated guitar player and composer. A lot his songs and lyics are a bunch of juvenile crap but what an...
