SCOTT ( PENNY-OWSLEY) TELEVISION Item number: 5788100023
on ebay - has anybody seen one of these and knows more about it?

Well I have a bid in on it but I only know that it's a projection set.
Anyone know what CRT it uses?

I doubt it's worth much, no point in any of you bidding :D

Could be the TV part of an 800B AM/FM/SW record player TV system. Maybe "Penny Owlsley" was the style of cabinetry-or the original owner's daughter. E.H. Scott stuff was largely all custom-made, so who knows. I'd STILL like to get a cabinet for my 800B system. -Sandy G.

Its a Scott Model 6T11. It uses 3NP4 CRT. I also have a 6T11 and the SAMS Photofact for it. There is a picture of the Scott 800BT at http://www.radiodaze.com/Scott-800BT.htm

Yep, a Scott 6T11. Mine is badged Bissell-Weisert which was a Chicagoland music store. I have read that Scott used Bissell-Weisert to close out merchandise and let them badge them. I suspect that Penney-Owlsley was a local store of some sort that got the same deal from Scott. The Scott plate on the back still has their name and model and serial numbers.

The tube is a 3NP4 and it is part of a Norelco projection system. 1 box has tube ,Schmidt mirror and corrector lens in a folded system and another had the sweep and hi-voltage supply. This was used by several manufactures in projection sets and the Norelco Duo-Vue console where you put a direct view set on top of the box and the projector projected out the back of the box to a screen on the wall. I modified one of these Scott's with a Col-R-Tel color convertor in the mid 50's but the brightness was low. The TV chassis as I recall was a pretty good set and I believe it had a chrome chassis like Radio Craftsman but I don't remember much about it. At the time it had a very large picture in a nice small box. It was way ahead of it's time.

Googled and came up with this: "Penny-Owsley Music Company on Wilshire Boulevard" in Los Angeles.

Has anyone restored one of these recently??
 

I always thought restoring one of these would be fun. Does set produce picture with decent brightness. Is a 3NP4 special purpose tube only for projection sets???? Some info Please!! :yes:

OUCH! $510 Must have been something special. Anybody have the rest of the console?

Final price seems to be in line with previous auctions. The last one on the bay sold for $788.00 in 2003 but it was restored. A mahogany unrestored one sold in 2002 for $450.00.

This all there is to the unit. The screen folds down and it bacomes a nice, compact package.

It looks darn near mint in the photos.

A local collector friend bought this so perhaps I'll get to see it in person sometime.
