Hello All,
I got an HH Scott Stereomaster 386 and have just finished cleaning, recapping and adjusting (bias, DC offset etc.) to a very fine sounding unit.
However, it came with very generic knobs; think standard panel knobs (see images).
I was wondering if anyone could point me to some more...
I got a little carried away yesterday morning and accidentally won an auction for a Scott 340b with a nice wood case. I got it for a decent price but will have to pay for shipping — and I have no idea what shape the receiver is in, other than that it's cosmetically pretty good. Even if it starts...
finishing up a pair of decent condition type 280 amps, no they are not 28w/ch unless my scope and dmm are lying to me again.
cant seem to locate info/procedure for the screen overload pot setting. schematic shows the following unless there is an inaccuracy between vintage audio device and...

Given a nice pair of nonworking HH Scott S2 speakers. In great shape and well constructed. Taken apart and all speakers read appropriate resistance and appear to work. Cross over needed all four 50 ohm rheostat rebuild, careful wire wheeling and soaking in deoxit, a little soldering all work...
Scott 340B Receiver ---- Information (Model Variation?) Needed
I have seen HH Scott 340B receivers (both in-person and photos on the Internet) having cream-colored-plastic slide switches, and others having black-plastic slide switches. This is not a subtle distinction due to age or soil. The...
Hi All: I will confess I’m a tube novice (except for guitar amps; I’ve owned a ‘67 Fender Bassman blackface for 30 years) and may be asking dumb questions for the foreseeable future.
I just acquired an HH Scott 222D recently. It’s paired with my vintage KLH model 17’s an Orbit U-Turn turntable...
I've seen that most of the Scott 299 series have a Wide C model cabinet, but haven't been able to find the cabinet information or exact dimensions for the Scott 299-T. I found a unit being sold for parts with the cabinet that I'm hoping to buy and take the cabinet from for my LC-21.
Any info...
Theres a Scott 210A SN 113 for sale on FB Marketplace in Meriden CT. Listing is under
“Laboratory Amplifier” asking $150. More of a project than I should undertake. Marked Pending a moment after I posted.
Hi all! I recently purchased a HH scott 208 with out any tubes. I plan on cleaning and recapping to get it back in working order. Upon closer inspection i came across some odd things.
1. two 1/4 in. jacks (one mono and one stereo) were added to the audio inputs. My thought was that the previous...
I've never heard these speakers before. So I'm not sure if I did good or not there in mint condition bought them from the original owner. The things weigh a ton. But they were $50 for the pair so I figured given HH Scott's stereo reputation they may be good. Model is S-71.
Anyone have any...
Hello all! I recently picked up an HH Scott LK-72 with the original manual. It was untested due to the previous owner never getting around to restoring it. From what I've seen, this looks like it's the earliest version of this amp (7199 tubes, no balance pots, two 0.05 uF coupling caps in...
I have a Scott 380R with a power switch that was dirty and caused the lights to flicker. I cleaned it and it is working fine, but I have read that it will not stay that way. I used the triac mod on a Kenwood KR2090 and it worked great. I want to do the same with the 380R, but I am having...
I’m trying to figure out what connection I need for my vintage 1973 Scott receiver. The speakers 1 set up is lose and rather than take it apart I want to use speaker 2 but I’m not familiar with the plugs or how to run them or what connection to use. How can I run speakers from the speaker 2...
Hello to all.
I'm working on restoring a Scott LK-72b. I am fairly new to this, so please know that I will probably make mistakes, but I am very glad to learn.
First thing I did before firing it up was to replace all of the capacitors including the can caps. I also replaced the selenium...
Hello all. I have a HH SCOTT 375R receiver I bought second-hand. It has been adjusted to bring it back to factory specs and the pots cleaned. It sounds very nice but it does have one little issue that I'm not certain were to start looking to track it down.
The right channel is a bit brighter...
I just got a very nice surprise. I wasn't expecting much when I bought my Scott 385r tuner with Scott S-15 speakers. Once I got them home and cleaned up a little I decided to try it out. It sounds great! And I'm partial to the look as well. Cost was just$26.00. I am super happy with this. I...
Hi everyone!
I am just getting into hifi audio and I have some problems to solve.
Background: I have some custom built cabinets. My grandfather built them in 1958 when he was stationed in England. They are loaded with the original Goodmans speakers and XO. The XO points are 950/5000 on the...
Howdy. I use Scott S-15s and love the mids and even the bass, but the tweeters aren't so defined. What do I need to know as far as specs when I go to order replacements. I look to push 100W absolute max out of a Parasound 800ii. and the Scotts are 8ohms. Beside that, I don't even really...
I have been having issues with my HH Scott 370R amp, the left channel does not work properly, neither in the 'B' or 'A' speaker configurations. I sometimes play music through my alexa dot, my CD player, or my turntable... more on that below
The Problem:
When I turn the amp on, the music...
I have a set of KLH Model 5s and found a refurbished Pioneer SX636 ($250, Deoxit, Faderlube, and 8 new transistors) and a clean HH Scott 370R ($225, Deoxit and Faderlube). I want to pull the trigger on one but would like to hear your guys' feedback? The HH Scott has more power but the KLH really...
hello,
Wondering if anyone had any ideas about why my Scott lk 72 integrated amp might be generating sibilance on all my LPs? I am sure that my turntable had been correctly set up as it does not produce ANY sibilance when plugged in to my Sansui receiver and Yamaha integrated amp phono stages...
So I finally made the leap into tube electronics after a "solid" three years of very nice classic integrateds from Yamaha, Sansui, etc. I just picked up an LK 72 for a good price, it had new orange caps, an array of original but in spec Scott tubes, and was cleaned and biased. The transformation...
I got an HH Scott LK-60B manual recently, found some time to scan this monster and clean it up a bit in photoshop. From what I can tell, it's the same as the LK-60, down to the schematic, page numbers, and wire colouring. The only real difference I can tell is the face plate for the LK-60B...
