Up for sale is one H.H. Scott Type 330C AM FM Simulcast Stereo Tuner. It needs work. I powered it up with a Variac Transformer.
This could be a great project for someone who wants to tinker.
TheH.H. Scott Type 330-Cis a vintage vacuum-tube AM/FM \"simulcast stereo\" tunermanufactured in the late 1950s (around 1958).
Simulcast Stereo:Before modern FM multiplex (MPX) stereo became standard, early stereo was achieved by broadcasting the left audio channel via AM and the right audio channel via FM.
Dual Receivers:It features independent AM and FM front-ends/receivers to handle simultaneous broadcasts.
MPX Output:It includes a multiplex output jack anticipating future external stereo decoders before the FCC officially approved the FM stereo standard in 1961.
Tuning Mechanism:Utilizes a direct-drive tuning setup through a planetary gearset (vernier tuning) rather than a traditional springy dial-string.
AM Selectivity:Offers three AM bandwidth settings (wide, normal, and narrow) for high-fidelity AM reception.
Chassis Style:Built using Scott\'s wide \"C\" case/chassis format.
