Scott 800B
#1

Found this locally, 200.00. Cabinet/chassis in VERY nice shape. 24 tubes.

It was a playing set that had been refreshed by it's previous owner 20+ yeas ago. I decided to inspect the electronics anyway and replaced all electrolytics and some other components just to be sure. The Scott has nearly all metal cased caps. Very well built AND HEAVY.

Since the set was on the second floor of the previous owner's home, it was a challenge for 2-1/2 old men (I was the 1/2) to move it. I ended up removing both chassis, record player, and speaker to make it merely extremely difficult to move.

It is a very good sounding set! Color me impressed!!
