"Glad you now have the cabinet info. Print it out to keep with the cabinet.
I recall once seeing a brochure showing it and a few other style cabinets."
" Thanks David. A fellow ARF member found this article about the cabinet. It is from a company called "Excello"."
"the 1 meg resister is really small, tucked into the socket between two of the pins. If you have never opened up an eye tube socket, make notes and sketch before you allow any of the pin sleeves come loose, which they are inclined to do."
"Very nice cabinet spruce up.
Looks like the chrome cleaned up well too, as I suspected when I saw it in the local auction years ago."
" As promised, I thought I would show off the finished product on this post so you could see before and after."
"The 1Meg resistor associated with eye tubes is almost always found in the socket at the end of the harness."
"Thanks Dave, I've done field coils before, so have already tried the "basics". There's an "open" deep within the varnished coil so not an easy fix this time. I guess I'll have to try and remove some of the potting…"

"Your cabinet is the CHIPPENDALE. Very nice example."
"Those photos were of the chassis, it has a cabinet with a 15” Jensen speaker.. as you can see here."
"FYI - You do not picture the speaker. Would have had a 15 inch speaker, probably the 15inch Jensen 2 way coaxial Any vintage 8 ohm speaker or speaker system would work. built circa 1948.
Also, much simpler model than the post war 800-B as your…"

As many of you know Clay was instrumental in helping Scott develop their High Fidelity receivers based on…
