Your help? Mystery chassis ID

[dshoaf]

Hi to all, I normally hang out in the Audio sections here at AK but have a chassis that I _think_ may be from an early TV. I've done some surfing around here and elsewhere and _think_ this may be a Halicrafters TV chassis that _may_ have some out of one of their early consoles. Here's my logic so far:

- Some Hallicrafters console TVs included a record player and this chassis has provisions for one.
- The string of 6SH7s in what looks like the IF strip that were used in some early Hallicrafters TVs
- One picture has a label indicating: Amplifier NO. 7788

Other things I know at this point:

- Its got one 6L6 sitting by the metal rectifier tube.

So, can anyone shed further light on this? I do not have the chassis in my possession and will not until Christmas.

I do appreciate your help very much.

Cheers,

David

Hello that is the amplifier/IF/power supply from a E.H.Scott model 800b radio. Hope this helps Logan

I agree that it's a scott, but, not the amp from an 800b. I once had one. The amp is long, and skinny... But, it does look like a radio.
Further, it is interesting that the corner looks vaguely like a hallicrafters early 504 tv chassis.

It does look like the amp from an 800B. Check out Phil's website on the restoration of one.

My thanks to you both! It is, indeed, the amp section from an EH Scott 800 console.

Cheers,
