So the question is any one have any experience with a Scott 299-C we found one that is restored with a 599 ask. Price high or average?

RagingBullWinkle Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 That was my first thought but not sure want work done is worth.. Here is a nice Scott 299-C integrated amp. The 299-C is one of the best Scotts ever made. This one has been serviced with a new P.S. can on top and 'lytics underneath. Signal and bypass caps replaced as well as the troublesome selenium rectifier with a silicon bridge. Controls and sockets cleaned with Deoxit. Tubes are all vintage: RCA/Westinghouse 7591's, RCA 12ax7's, Phillips 6u8A's, and a Mullard 5ar4 rectifierThe amp sounds wonderful. Huge low end, smooth mids and highs and that classic Scott imaging and sound signature.Looks aren't perfect, but still presents pretty well for an amp this age. See pics.

bkrop Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 talk to Craig A.K.A. Nosvalves, 600 between purchase and if serviced to spec is a great price. T he question is what service has been done to the amp??? What remains to be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I'm with bkrop. Especially if Craig (Nosvalves) did the work cause he's got magic in his fingers when it comes to these units. Price is more than fair if Craig touched it. It's about what I sold my 299A for fours ago and it was a Nosvalves rebuild. Selling it was one of my many regrets in life. Most of the other regrets involved midget porn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
