About
The Book |
| During the Golden Age of
Radio, the vision of one man, E.H. Scott, continually set the highest
standards for radio receiver technical performance, innovation and
quality. The products of his company, E.H. Scott Radio Laboratories,
were considered status symbols of their day - most with chrome
plated chassis, high fidelity sound reproduction and elegant
cabinets. Today those Scott radios are some of the most highly
treasured by vintage radio collectors. Here is the story of Scott and his Company as related by Marvin Hobbs, Scott's Chief Engineer from 1939-1947. Hobbs' key role with Scott, his first person recollections, and extensive industry experience offer a most unique and interesting insight into a fascinating piece of the history of radio. Out of print for over 17 years, Radio Daze Press is proud to offer The Second Edition of E.H. Scott - The Dean Of DX written by Marvin Hobbs. Greatly expanded in format and content with 256 pages including a color section and schematics of most classic E.H. Scott sets. This book is a "must-have" for all E.H. Scott and vintage radio enthusiasts. |
