[Boatanchors] EH Scott Special

[Carl]

Youre correct Todd, I neglected to see the word Special! I believe that is covered in Slussers Scott book. Ive several Scotts but certainly not that one!

The WW2 ones are the RCH and SLR.  Genuine boatanchors.

  That actually sounds more like the RBO, Carl. The Scott Special was a (large) table top premium communications receiver bult just before the war. Black panel, two separate tuners with two large dials (one on each side), round meter in center, 6-7 bands, basically Scott's answer to Hallicrafters Dual Diversity I'd guess, though they are different beasts. Not many of them made, when one sirfaces it brings big dollars. I've seen one only, a very nice set. Sorta looks like a Sky Buddy on steroids, though much higher quality and utility of course.
