Terry, if you like working on "spotless" radios, I think you'd love working on my 1963 Zenith K-731. This radio was an ebay score last year and was absolutely clean, inside and out, when it was delivered to me--and it works well, of course. Even the cabinet is almost perfect, with only a few almost invisible imperfections (and I mean almost invisible--I have to look long and hard to find them myself; they don't show on a quick examination of the set).

Whomever had this before me took really good care of it. I'm glad, because this set's cabinet fits in just perfectly with the rest of the furniture in my apartment (one of at least two reasons I bid on it in the first place; the other is I just plain like anything made by the original Zenith Radio Corporation, and yet a third is its incredible sound for a table radio, especially in the bass range--the set has a 5x7 oval speaker and an electrostatic tweeter, the first of its kind I have seen in over 30 years of electronics experimenting).

I'm not familiar with any of the H. H. Scott receivers, but I'd guess the two eye tubes were for AM/SW and FM.

BTW, I'd be careful about leaving that big speaker unprotected on your bench. One slip and . . . !!!
