I picked this up about two years from a guy who was moving. This looks to be one of the last EH Scott models. In fact, the only reason I got it was because it was an E.H. Scott. It is just an AM/FM radio with a Webster 3 speed changer and a P-P 6L6 amp. One of the 6L6's is laying in the cabinet with a broken key; but, is good otherwise. I still have not done anything with it and am debating on finding it a new home or restoring it. Has anyone had a run-in with this model?

I'd say save it! I'm wanting a console myself.

The Webcor looks like an early 50's model. I did a web search and came up with a website implying the Model 510 was manufactured by the John Meck Co. (http://www.radioera.com/classic-literature.asp)

Looks like it would be a nice unit once restored. Don't know how much use you'd have for a mono turntable - you could replace the cartridge with one that complies with stereo discs but the trick would be finding one that would work with the heavy tonearm.

Scotts of any vintage are desirable. I would restore it. If you decided you did not want it, others certainly would. Nice, because it's fairly compact. The "TV" input could be from a CD player or what have you. Just use a two-into-one RCA adapter to get mono into the amplifier.

EH Scott stuff was supposed to be top notch. what atwater kent would have been had he not shut down operations during the depression. i'd try to save that guy. the console is a bit rough but a day of sanding and restaining could do wonders.

It looks complete so a no brainer that it is a restorable unit. Though it past the golden period for E.H. it still is desirable as is everything from the company. Does not look rusted eacept for the transformers and these would be easily redone. Bet they'd look mighty nice chromed rather than repainted black.

I like the 'CABLE ADDRESS' on the chassis. Some kind of early e-mail, for the younger
ones among you!

I would definitely restore this unit, it is historically significant.

I think I have a scan of the Sams folder - email for a copy.

The John Meck company owned Scott Radio Labs by the time this was made.

Hello restore it.The last good radios by E.H.Scott was the 800B.The Philharmonic 30 it the most collectable of them al 3000 or so made. The allwave 15 is the hardest to find not many made! Chrome is everything on Scotts as far as value goes.Sprman55
