FS: Scott 350B FM Tuner

[User211]

Here's my old Scott 350B tuner, imported from the US some years ago.

It has issues. The last time I tried it the output level kept varying all by itself. So I am selling it for anyone who cares to do some work on it.

It has some decent valves in it. Telefunken 6BL8, 2 RCA 12AU7, GE 6H8 and some branded H. H. Scott, no doubt the originals. The RCAs I put in and they only have a few hours on.

The tuner dial is cracked and loose, but it could be glued to the dial to fix it.

Manuals are available online.

These things, when working, sound glorious. Spoken voice is the real highpoint as the mid range is gloriously coloured. I liked this tuner so much I bought one in excellent condition, with a nice mint original hardwood case.

Eminently more listenable than the mid 70s solid state technically excellent tuners from the likes of Sansui (I owned one). When trying to find a good tuner, the further back in time I went the better they were to listen to, as a rule.

This is one of the first multiplexing stereo tuners made, from around 1963-64 I believe.

Here's the bad news. Pick up only near Bristol. And it needs technical work.

The good news? It's £20 cash on collection.

Better saved than in the bin, I think. Anyone care or curious enough to get it going properly?

Bad light for these but hey...

Few more.

Forgot to say it is 117V, as you can see. You need a step down to run it.

Sod it - it is free, minus the RCAs, if you come and get it. Can't say fairer than that!

Whoops this is actually a Scott 350 with valve rectification (6X4). So 1961-62.

I would absolutely love this if I can find a kind soul to bring it towards London.

Pretty please anyone?

Sure this has gone. Two people want it. Just working out details.

Scott made some great vintage tuners (along with Marantz and McIntosh), but be advised Scott used a soft aluminium for the fascia, and is easily dented. So pack carefully!

Hi Justin,
Your PM box is full, in the meantime I'm happy with whichever option works for you

OK will clear it out by late tomorrow - busy now.

Just spoken to the man you need to liaise with. All is cool.
