Stupid Scott flash chrome, why such a high end brand went so cheap on chrome plating I'm never know. Wells Gardener seems to have been able to plate their chassis properly and their business was making department store brands. The plating on this example is even worse then normal, I don't think that any amount of polishing will make it look respectable unfortunately. The knobs on that Scott look the spitting image of the ones on my FADA model 1001 post war AC/DC set, even down to the boxwood rings on the face, maybe Scott bought them off the shelf?
