Saw this radio today. Is this set rare, any idea of what they sell for?

Could one say that it's a literal boat anchor?

I have one like that and i think they can go from about $100 to $200 .Rick

Hi,
It's a good radio but be aware that it's AC/DC and ought to be run
from an isolation transformer.

Didn't Scott have another very similar or virtually identical radio with
a similar circuit that was AC only and used all 6 volt tubes?

They are somewhat scarce, but not extremely rare.

I believe it's much the same as the wartime Scott RBO, which was an
entertainment receiver for the Navy. Because it was designed for shipboard
use, it had extra shielding to prevent the enemy from locating it. (This
made it heavy!)

You can find a little more info if you search the archives of
rec.antiques.radio+phono and rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors for "Scott SLR"
and "Scott RBO."

Of course, you can also search on Google.
