i got one of these as a swap. when i uncovered it i was shocked to see most of it was wire wrapped!

where these kits or is this how they came off the assembly line?

Lot of vintage mass-production audio equipment was done with wire wrap... the Japanese used that heavily in the 70's for instance. If this one has sloppy wraps, could just mean it's been serviced as opposed to being home-built.

The H H Scott receivers of that era used wire warp connections. Scott even showed wire warp in their advertisements. At the time wire wrap was considered high tech.

Looks like the family pooch ate the hookup wire display at an old Radio Shack and then barfed it up into the chassis of that poor Scott.

What's the distance between the RCA input jacks and the selector switch? 25, maybe 35 feet?! Damn. Probably sounds pretty 'relaxed' . . . :sigh:

I've forgotten how beautiful these early Scott ss units were. Probably well worth recapping and soldering those wire wraps.

Lot's of people had jobs back then making stuff like this Scott.
