[sixthday]

Saw it on EBay. I think last one was sold for $4000 on audiogon last year.

Lordy, it's lovely to look at. I bet they will get a bid.

Hard to say. Although 3500 is a fair price, the ones who are willing pay for it probably dont know.

There was a handful for sale in the past 7-8 years and prices are going up and up.
All / most of those were in nicer condition though than this one. Very rare and some would argue better tuner than the Marantz 10b....

True, I think the first one I saw was around 2000 and then 2700, 3000, and 4000

what's with the left and right antenna connections?

 

[KiM3Ce]

I believe the "diversity" function was supposed to automatically select between the two antennas for the strongest signal.

funny names! I guess that's because there's L & R S meters?
on my TX1000 its ant A & ant B and they're manually selected OR choice programmed into each preset.

Well, if solid state Scott tuners ever start going for $4,500 bucks, I'm golden, lol.

Great photos on both listings for Scott enthusiasts...

Wow, thankfully I did nto se the second one. That was actually pristine with very nice after market cabinet.
I think many of us spent/will spend that amount this year on a ton of junk gear (at least comparatively).

22 tubes at least? Wow. You don't see that kind of tube count. I have an Ampex with 17.

I would not put this in a cabinet, it's eye candy on the level of the EH Scott chrome plated radio chassis of the 30s.

Surprised no tuning eye tubes.

Well,I don't know what the broadcasting situation is in the US,but I can tell you that there isn't a damned thing going on up here that would ever merit a tuner of that quality,let alone price!

A ton of great stations here - i get local NJ, NYC and Philly with a $10 Ratshack antenna with my Mc71
