[Vintage-Audio] Re Scott Amp Speaker Designations

Hmmm. Well Peter, maybe the "H" stand for the first name, as in "H. Scott"?
(grin) Now to be perfectly honest with you Pete, my best Braille finger could
not tell if it was an "O" or a "0". With enough wear, heck it might be a "Q"
with a missing tail! What is next, new color code schemes? Pink is positive,
Nightshade is negative, Grout Gray is ground and Corn Blight Yellow is center?

You sure the "O" is not a Zero, to signify zero potential, ground
potential, common ground, etc. The "H" to signify high side, not the
ground side, the "hot" side, etc. Maybe the designer liked these quirky
symbols for the speaker connections.
