H.H. Scott 355

H. H. SCOTT 355 TUBE PREAMP AM/FM WITH CUSTOM CABINET MY OH MY!  The 355 was introduced as a more versatile replacement for the older 399; as such, it was the only Stereo Preamp-Tuner product ever produced by Scott.
As a Tuner/Preamp (similar to the older 331-series) the 355 had no basic power amplifier section like the 399 Receiver. Instead the 355 provided a cathode follower, line-level, preamp out --
Just add the basic power amp of your choice, usually a Scott Type 208, but Mac's and Dyna's were also popular choices.

The 355 added true FM-MPX stereo reception utilizing the 350/335 decoder design, incorporating the "Stereo Guide," 6AV6 tube indicator.

As "Simulcast Stereo" was becoming obsolete, the 355 was the only Scott AM/FM tuner to share a (very rare) common circular tuning dial. Scott engineers cleverly resurrected the 300/320 tuning gang, but thankfully left the more complex dial-cord string and slide-rule dial inventory untouched.

To accommodate a matching power amp;
Scott offered the optional, 208 Power Amp; a modular piggy-back, design derived from the 7591-based 299-C amp. All audio connections, accessory AC, and antenna jacks were top-mounted on the shortened chassis, to facilitate the matching 208 "piggy-back" package.
The receiver is in great shape. I had my tech go through this and some repairs were made $165.00. Sounds great! The custom cabinet is walnut. 1 small crack in the tuning dial.
