H.H. Scott 3300

 Exclusive Scott perfectune.

The world's most accurate and reliable tuning device, obsoletes center-tuning meters by employing a digital computer to automatically flash an indicator panel light when best tuned for maximum reception (absolute center channel and lowest distortion).

True AM high fidelity

After years of costly experimentation, Scott engineers discovered the answer underlying true Am high-fidelity. Distortion so low that Scott AM is virtually undistinguishable from FM. Employing latest FET and Integrated Circuit techniques in the 3300, they throughly eliminated interference and drift. Weak stations now assume a new clarity, strong stations become totally distortion-free, and a new FET mixer improves cross modulation rejection and cuts adjacent stationinterference.

Solderless wire connections

A scott exclusive, "tension wrap" each wire around a terminal under tremendous torsion. Consequently, the 3300 possesses a dependability akin to aerospace and computer applications because the problems of cold or unsoldered connections are drasticly reduced.

 The world's first high fidelity IC Multiplex section (no larger overall than a cigarette filter) incorporates 31 transistors, 10 diodes and 29 resistors to ensure superior reliability and superior FM streo separation than conventional printed circuit construction.

Scott's quartz crystal lattice filter

In the tuner IF section never requires realignment or adjustment. Never … regardless of age or operating temperature. This revolutionary feature, never found before in receivers in this price range, also yields the extra divident of very low distortion and incredible selectivity.

F/C/O Circuity

Provides close to distortion-free listening, even at low volume levels. The 3300 incorporates Full Complementary Output Transistors to achieve perfect undistorted sound, over a wide power bandwidth at both 8 and 4 ohms … a vital factor when connecting extra speakers.
