Scott 299D
The documented record on the Scott 299D is thin. The Archive's research file for this model is essentially empty - no factory spec sheet, no service literature, no transcribed measurements. What can be pinned down comes from period coverage.
High Fidelity (March 1964, p.57) ran an equipment report on the 299D as part of its consumer's guide to new and important high fidelity gear. It called the unit a "stereo control amplifier," which is H.H. Scott's term for a combined preamp and power amplifier in one chassis.
Scott's own advertising in Audio (September 1964, p.2) claimed a 66-watt stereo amplifier at $189.95, with distortion so low it could barely be measured. The ad doesn't name the 299D in the surviving copy. It ran in the 299D's review period, though, and it is the closest thing to a period price claim on record.
Known at a glance:
- Stereo control amplifier (integrated preamp/power amp)
- Covered in the 1964 season equipment reports
- Advertised at $189.95 with 66 watts claimed
That is about all the record currently supports. If you have a 299D manual or service notes, the Archive could use them.
