attached is what is probably the most interesting tuner I have seen in my life. It is the Scott Stereomaster 433, and I believe it is the world's first digital FM tuner.

Note the cool red lights and the SINGLE tuning button. also, note the cool "credit card" slot on the right. I wonder what this was for?

There is one on audioclassics priced at $1000 right now, much more than I'd pay for one. but, it might actually be worth that due to it's rarity.


I believe Axel over at TVK is in the process of putting together a page on it. I can't wait until it's done!

It's a beautiful unit indeed, but talking about rarities :

Scott 280



Marantz 8B

very nice, clint!


that marantz is really a classic!
do you know approximately how many were produced?


never seen that scott before. what's its approximate value? is it stereo? how many watts per channel?

About the Marantz 8B there's a talk in certain audio circles that only five units were made of this model...

The Scott 280, is a mono block with 4 EL34 and 72 watts. it's very rare and very expensive.

We're talking about audio legends.

the slot was used for pre programmed station cards that you could program yourself(think of it as a preset).

wow heres one that just ended and was basically in my backyard

scott 433

Sometimes i wonder why anyone wants to sell a unit like that in mint condition...
