H.H. Scott "Scotsman" Stereo Compact With Garrard Turntable

[49kasey]

That's a better piece of audio gear than any of the KLH compacts that were very popular back then because KLH made lousy electronics but Scott was one of the best. But the stylus doesn't last very long, don't let it go longer than a year, 6 months if you use it a lot. They are only about 10 bucks, your records are worth a lot more. Also, those screws clamp the turntable to the base for transit. Turn them down so that it sits on it's springs.

@49kasey are you still there,I have a question about a Scott receiver

Oh man your lucky!

The S15s were nice speakers (around 1970).

Scott use them or S10Bs with their compact systems.

@gli7utubeo Yes, unfortunately the speakers were being sold separately and I didn't have enough cash to get them that day. Of course, they were gone when I went back to get them :-(

[xmvirus202]

Thanks- Yes, the drop and return work, as does the 33 1/3 sensor arm at the back. I would like to hear how you polished your cover, it seems all of the ones I do get have horrible scratches on them.  It would be cool to see videos of your turntables!

Now that is a beautiful stereo system.

You don't usually see nice units like that at the thrift stores too often.

WOW what a find, they put those Garrards (and many others) in a lot of big consoles too! That thing has great sound, even the needles sounds fine?

[xmvirus202]

Yes, I paid $24.99 for it at Goodwill, before someone had the chance to molest it and break the stylus off! I swear it is the best sounding turntable I have ever owned. It has a Pickering V15/CAC cartridge with the original DAT2 Pickering stylus, in like-new condition. I just noticed a few days ago that it only has FM band. How strange is that?

[ChromeBumpers]

No AM radio? wow, never heard of such a thing... very unusual! Those styli will last a long time if they're not abused... and that alone would be worth more than $24.00!! Great find!!

nice whats the top stick for on the turntable

When you stack records up on the center spindle it holds them in place then they drop one at a time to play.
