Which Scott Tuner for my Scott 299-2 Amp?

ukfan4sure!

Expert Smoke Releaser
Which Scott tuner(s) were a match for my 299-2 version Scott amp? I mean, which ones has the same front panel look?

I can't decide whether seeking one of the MPX tuners vs the mono FM is worth the change in aesthetics between them. If I do go MPX, I know the 350 would be a good choice, or the 333.

Is the 330 series pretty good am/fm units, although not MPX?

Thanks.

You mention 299-2, I assume you mean 299B, correct?
If you want to match face plate styles, I think the 330B would be a good choice, or even the 330C. The color would match but look at the style of knobs on your 299 and compare them to the tuner knobs to see if they match.
Scott made the 335 MPX adapter, but its style matches the 299C and 330D units.
You could make a MPX adapter (IC design) that you could hide in the back.
 
And yes the 330 series tuners are great sets, good FM sensitivity and stellar AM frequency response in the local position.

Yes, the second 299 version is what I have. The knobs are the "V" milled type with no line cut in the knob. I've seen the same knobs on the 330B and 330C. I wonder why the B had a green Scott silkscreen. logo on the front? Nothing else does. :)
I have a Magnavox MPX chassis I could probably figure out how to mate up and hide.
