The
Scott Philharmonic Project
The Alabama Historical
Radio Society gets involved with many projects over the years and one of
the most involved recently has been the Scott Philharmonic. Known as
the Stradivarius of radios, it was handmade by the E. H. Scott Radio
Laboratories Inc. and out performed all of its competitors. Sold in the
1930’s and 40’s, it could cost more than a new Cadillac. In most cases
only the wealthy could afford one, but it was probably worth it. Just
take a look at this chrome plated power supply and class A power
amplifier with FOUR 6L6s. Now that’s first class. Here’s a shot
of Marvin Shepherd our chief engineer with the unit. Marvin completely
disassembled the unit so it could be rechromed, then reassembled it.
