Scott 980

Little is documented about the Scott 980. The Archive's research file for this model holds no manual, no factory specification sheet, no period advertisement naming the model, and no confirmed independent review. The surviving record doesn't even establish the product type. The available sources don't show whether the 980 was a tuner, receiver, amplifier, or something else entirely.

The only period fragment that might relate to the 980 is a new-products listing in HiFI-Stereo (December 1974, p.24). The scan is incomplete and never explicitly names the 980. The listing does cover an FM tuner section with 1.8 µV IHF sensitivity, 2.5 µV for 50-dB quieting, 45 dB AM suppression, 75 dB alternate-channel selectivity, and 0.2% mono / 0.3% stereo FM harmonic distortion. Whether those figures belong to the 980 is unconfirmed.

If you own a Scott 980, or even have a clear photograph of one, the Archive would welcome the missing details.
