Beam me up, Scotty!

FYI, I bought an LC-21 on epay long ago that was missing it's power transformer as well as a few of the brown plastic knobs Scott used on their kits.
Then, about five years ago there was (epay again) a 130 chassis that was stripped of everything except for the power transformer. There was a home made front panel with two Marantz meters from a 70's power amp. The filament winding on the power trans was used for the lights in the meters. Very strange waste of a 130!
The power trans from the 130 was a perfect replacement for the LC-21, which turned out to be a terrific sounding preamp!
I compared it to a complete 130 and decided to keep the LC-21.
Now I just need a few of the brown knobs.......
 
The lights on the front of the 130 pre work with the stereo selector switch so you can see whether it is in stereo, mono, reverse stereo, stereo A, stereoB.
 
If this had been 3 months earlier, I would have had you a meter (a correct HH Scott one) for that power amplifier. Had a parts mule and another gentleman I know had one with a rusted chassis and no meter, he got my parts mule and made a good complete amp out of two amps. He also had a shorted OPT on his rusted one. I got to hear it 3 weeks ago, he did an awesome job. He repairs guitar amps for a living and loves vinyl and tube audio. He recapped the Scott and replaced a couple of bad tubes and it's been trouble free. He's repairing a guitar amp for me in trade.
 
How did an aluminum chassis rust? If he still has that dead chassis, and the section under the meter where the "Scott Stereomaster" logo is printed is in good shape, I might be interested in it.

Also...why is this ancient thread getting all of the attention, when I'm actually working on the amp in another one?
 
Don't know, it got bumped. Aluminum was very pitted. And his old chassis was very hacked up. It had been modified in ugly ways. And had a lot of odd holes drilled in it.

I was kind of surprised to see this five year old thread rise from the grave. :D

That's the awesome thing about this site,you can dig up old threads and resurrect them when you take possession of these great old amps.
My LK-150 has 4 matched Tungsol 6550's date coded made in the USA 1968.
Will be looking to add more for backups
