I have actually seen this Scott set and met the jerk that is selling this. He is an old school electronic tech. In recent years he has been selling ULTRA HIGH end audio stuff to the tube audio fanatics. You know the kind of stuff, esoteric bizzare turntables that sell for $12K and tube amps that sell for $25K. I guess the bottom has fallen out of the market with the poor ecconoimy and the jerk is selling stuff off that he has acquired over the years. Mostly tube audio stuff and over priced high end speakers. Here is a link to the kind of BS he perveys...a bunch of BS smoke and mirrors. A lot of psuedo-scientific flim flam.

And here is an honest review of the BS Triphazers performance. On a scale of 1 to 10 they rate a big fat ZERO, oh yes and they sell for $800/pair. It just goes to prove a sucker is born every day, and this guy is the PT Barnum of electronics.

I have been to his place (bought some carbon comp resistors on ebay and picked them up at his shop) It's called Tritium Electronics and is on the south west side of Milwaukee just south of 84th and National by a couple of blocks.
The story is that he got the Scott set from a fellow that worked for years at Allen Bradley. The fellow got the set from AB when they had no use for it any more. The interesting thing is that the engineers at AB made a custom color wheel conversion adapter for the Scott set using a ColorTel converter adapter box. (but it seems he is not selling the color wheel with the Scott) I saw the custom made color wheel and somehow it evidently mounts inside the Scott and spins in front of the Protelgram projector window.
All this is very interesting, however the old fellow who has the set and runs Tritium Electronics is so full of himself it isn't funny. A real BS artist who thinks the world revolves around him and thinks everything he has is worth a fortune. I made him a fair offer, and he basically laughed at me in a most disrespectfull way. I told him to sell it to some other idiot who wants to overpay for the thing. The reason for my post is to warn all collectors to stay away from this con artist. He is an obstinate and arrogant jerk, and you best have no dealings with this guy.
And BTW, Last month I purchased one of these sets in the blonde finish, already restored electronically for about 1/5 the price this guy is asking.
I think it will be a cold day in hell before anybody pays $2500 this guy's set.
