T2K Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I attempted to download a manual for the 222-C from the Scott site. I could not open the PDF file after the download. I have dialup. My brother had same problem. He has DSL. What gives? Keith PS. I sucessfully downloaded a schematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 It takes a VERY long time to download, even with cable at near T-1 speeds. I can send it to you if you want. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted November 15, 2002 Author Share Posted November 15, 2002 Thanks for the quick reply Kelly. I downloaded the file last night so I'm not sure how long it took (maybe 7 hours?). My brother downloaded the same file in 2 hours +. After downloading and attempting to open a window opened, the PDF page briefly appeared, then the manual appeared and disappeared in a flash. How would you send the file to me mh? I'm not a computer wizard. Thanks... Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 You know, I looked at it and it's actually a manual for the 200 and LK-30 series. I have to go through it more thoroughly but that is the first few pages. I am going to be getting a 299a Type II soon to audition alongside the EICO. But your question about sending the manual is a good one as me sending it to you will come up with the same download horror for you with dialup. I might try to break the file up a bit. Let me look into it. Perhaps Craig has the manual in a better format. I have a FULL 50 page EICO construction manual that is a GREAT help. I would like the regular Scott 299a manual as well. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted November 15, 2002 Author Share Posted November 15, 2002 Thanks Kelly. I was going to send Craig an e-mail about the Scott 350(A) tuner I recently bought, but I'll share that with you and maybe he'll read it here. Wired up the handsome relic tonight and wow! FM stereo hasn't sounded better. Even using a pair of S-6's the music filled the house. The sound improved after a short warm up and with a little cleaning, it even looks nice! Should sound great with some decent speakers. Heck, the guy also gave me a Sansui turntable that works too(needs a belt). I gotta get rid of some of this stuff! Thanks for your help...

Tom Mobley Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 kelly, I would love to have a copy of the Eico manual. I've been trying to figure out a way to acquire it, you are the first person I've seen that had it. I have a BB connection and can DL like crazy, especially at night. Can you put it up somewhere or email it? If I had it I'd be willing to host it for others who might be interested. I've got a few hundred meg space available on a decent connection.

mobile homeless Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Would be great except for the fact that I dont have it scanned in. I have tons of emails requesting the damn thing so I need to break down and scan the whole beast online. I'll see what I can do. A few years ago, it was pretty common to see the entire contruction manual in original form but now you never see it. Keith, I just love the old tube tuners. The Scott tuners were very good. I love my mono EICO HFT-90 tuner - It has ALL MULLARD tubes and sounds GREAT with uncompressed FM stations late at night. Indeed, I was just listening to the jazz show till 12am. I listen to NPR with that old EICO 1954 tuner EVERY morning! It put my $700 highly reviewed Sumo Aurora tuner in the closet. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Send it to me, I'll do it. Fifty pages not that big a deal. I've got a nice HP scanner. Give me a good excuse to get it cranked up again. I'll park it up on my space, you can fulfill all those deep longings in your email with hardly any effort at all....

arfz28 Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Im interested in a scott 299a manual too. I tryed to download it with no luck too off of the scott web sight.I think that 299 amp that Pland had for sale came with a manual. Moble did you perchase this amp from Pland?

justin_tx_16 Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 the manual for the 222-C is only 37 MB. It took me 5.47 minutes to download... am i looking at the same thing? it is like 19 pages? http://hhscott.com/pdf/64_amp_manual.pdf if not, what is the address? i like to challenge my connection from time to time hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 I don't believe that Scott Actually made Manuals for each amp. They made them for various amps in the same manual. I've never seen any thing but the one your trying to get and there really isn't that much in there that isn't easily figured out. The other frustrating thing that anyone with a 299A second version will find is that I have search Hi and Low for a accurate Schematic there is none to be found. It is very close to a 299B but not exact. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 That site appears to have just used the 200/LK-30 manual for MANY amps including the whole 299 series. I just went through the whole thing and it is really not that helpful if you own the 222-299 as most of the stuff it addresses is common knowledge and what isnt addresses the 200 series. I am going to take the Scott 299a Type II as the price is good and I have others in line to purchase the unit if I cant squeeze it in over here. IF the manual is included as Pat says, I will run some scans and post it. Also, if it has the seemingly RARE 299a Type II version of the Schematic, I will post this as well (along with some good shots of the beast). kh ps- Tom, I might just do that. Or I might just scan it here as I have a HK 5100 that is ok. Regardless, it should come to be. Email your address again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Kelly, I'm really looking forward to your review of the 299. Hey, whatever happened to the Cornwall review? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig -------------- [/blockquote Craig is correct-I was given the Operating Manual with both my LK-48 and my 350C and while the tuner manual covers only the 350C and LT-110 kit the amplifier manual covers the whole line.Only the inside cover shows the specific model while the rest of the manual covers everything (200/LK-30/222 series/299 series/LK-48/LK-72. Nice to have for us anal renative types! Jeff Edit:Correction-after reading through the tuner manual it also covers the whole line as well.

JCturboT Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Craig, Curious what you were asking for your LK-72? Is this the original LK or the B series? Also,was it completely gone throught like my LK-48? Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted November 19, 2002 Author Share Posted November 19, 2002 Thanks to Lee (webmaster), problem solved. Had to download Adobe 5.0. Works now. Thanks for the help. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
