H.H. Scott
The H.H. Scott posts span the company's tube and transistor years. The Type 208 and the 220-A laboratory power amplifier are 1950s tube designs, both sold as amplifiers needing service; the two Stereomaster 499 listings record Scott's early solid-state four-channel equipment of the quadraphonic era, one complete with its speakers.
Early Scott tube amplifiers are scarce and worth restoring carefully rather than modifying. Read nameplate figures carefully: the 180–200 watts on the Type 208's plate is mains consumption, not audio output.
The original site's history page called Scott the maker of "the Rolls-Royce of tube amps". For the company's 1972 shutdown, the SYMA takeover and the Emerson years, see the H.H. Scott maker page.
