BTW the knobs with missing end caps can be obtained at Antique Electronic Supply in AZ (google it, it's online) because the Scott knobs are the same as used on Fender guitar amps (I think it was) and they are available there. Thanks for the info. I found two caps inside the console so I could glue ...

Chris - appreciate the details on the turntable! Firedome - thanks for the background on the unit. Is DeoxIT D5 the right thing to clean out the RCA jacks for the speaker connections? If so, would the Faderlube spray also help by improving conductivity? I will be replacing the RCA jacked speaker wir...

I'm guessing that an 8lb platter has better vibrational dampening and less variance in motor speeds than a lightweight platter?

Just remember that Scott equipment was still made in the U.S. at that time, and to high engineering and manufacturing standards. The electronics are likely an adaptation of a stand-alone Scott receiver. Their devices were generally first-rate and performed well in RF and AF realms. Of course, the b...

Chris, thanks for the advice I have also opened a new topic to continue on as I go deeper into it.

Created a new topic on advice. I have the same console as SeniorSteve with a 2225 receiver at my home and the reason I joined the forum. I've attached 3 photos. I have not disassembled any components other than to disconnect the speaker connections to determine if a hum I was hearing is the amps sid...

I forgot to add that it also came with a pair of Kenwood KL-2070 2-way 35W 8ohm standalone speakers as well. Not tested yet either.

I have not disassembled any components other than to disconnect the speaker connections to determine if a hum I was hearing is the amps side or a speaker/wiring issue. The hum follows i...

I certainly will. Once iCloud for Windows decides it's going to sync my recent photos to my PC. It's a rather cursed piece of software.

Hi, I just joined the forum prompted by the post here by SeniorSteve about his Scott 2225. It's the only picture I found on the internet that matched mine. I'd like to learn more about it's operation, likely issues that will need to be fixed and such. I was into car audiophile systems in the 1990s b...

Hi, My wife acquired some old furniture including an old console system several months ago. I hooked it up to power a few days ago and found it's working but probably needs maintenance to keep it in good order. I was prompted to join as the only post I've seen on the internet showing a picture of th...
