HH Scott Owners Thread

[Go Giants]

Just an FYI- the silk screening rubs off easily. Yours looks great. May I suggest to be extra diligent with the power/volume knob to make sure your fingers don’t rub the face when turning on or adjusting the volume, causing the numbers to wear away.

Yes, i can see that happening. Love the brown face, but difficult to see the lettering even though my lettering is excellent.

The pre amp came with another brand new face plate...the more traditional gold tone one.

Was having some issues with pre. Phono working sporadically. Pulled the tubes and took the bottom plate off. A short blast of crc into each tube socket and no further issues.

All Telefunken tubes in the pre amp. Quite sure they're original.

Next up is trying to get LT 110 tuner going.

Don't own currently, but I did, in late 60's ... saved up lawn mowing $$ to purchase my first stereo receiver plus Koss headphones at local radio shack..... cheap dipole did the trick - needed to save up again for a pair of speakers .. turntable eventually found a home directly on top....listened to a lot of WMMR and WDAS (for all you philly folks) !

Got the LT 110 running. A great sounding tuner. I'd say it's on par with the FM section of my Fisher 500b.

Right now the Scott rig is in basement with some KLH sixes. Sounds real nice.

Been playing around throwing some different vintage speakers at the Scott. I forgot about my Sansui SP2500'S.

Some folks will call them Kabuki, but these sound great with the Scott. Not a lot of bottom, but other than that, they sound great.

I used to use them with my 500b and a sub. They sounded great there too. I guess they like the tube amps.

Receiver 380 in the house . A beautiful piece AM-FM in nice shape haven’t seen to many of these circa 1965. Similar to the 340-B Scott I’m told but with the AM . Something about a Scott so easy on the eyes.

Totally agree with you Fast! Lookers for sure

This is the only one I have a picture of, But I have at least 8 pieces

These I sold during the purge

Hi Steve!

I have a couple Scott items.

296 integrated amplifier used with the tuner of a 355 preamp/tuner. Also have a 399 receiver, 130 preamp, 272 integrated amplifier and I'm using a 310E tuner in my garage work area. I finally found nice cabinets for them all which took some time.

Beautiful units, vendo! I need to get a Scott tuner. Love the tuning eye and lighted dials!

Thanks for sharing those pics

I know the LK 150 amp was sold as a kit, but was there ever a factory cabinet available for it.

Good question.....if you happen to find out, please let me know. Thanks!

LK-150? Looks like a stand alone amp and wouldn't get a cabinet.

310E in the garage?? You aren’t afraid of damaging it... with a saw... a drill...

Is that your LK-150 Steve? It's a beauty. If you ever want to part with it, please let me know.

No, found the picture online. Wouldn't mind owning one myself.

I've got some minor blemishes on the faceplate of one of my 222c's. Anybody know of something that works to touch them up?

They're on the top edge of the faceplate nowhere near the lettering or anything. Thinking of buffing in some gold colored paint or something to hide them......

Thanks!

If you are talking about the gold annodizing, it's very hard to get paint to match at all. I had some success years ago with testors gold model paint by thinning it so it is a bit transparent. It helped to the point where you needed to be 3 to 4 feet away to notice anything, close up it just was still obvious. I wanted to experiment more but never did, the amp has been gone for quite some time.

 

[SWL3600]

Yeah something that I can get away with in a dimly lit listening room is all I'm looking for.

Like I said, annodizing is very hard to touch up, but I'm sure there are products to experiment with. They should have gold anodizing in a can that you could spray on a piece of cardboard, then use a very small modeling paint brush to touch up with. Trial and error I guess.
