EH Scott RCH Navy Ship Tube Receiver Ham Shortwave Radio Demo


 

Demo of a old EH Scott receiver that I recently repaired. When I picked it up, it was a mess. Now it plays super. The video shows the unit out of the cabinet. Yes, I have the original cabinet. The entire receiver weighs approx 105 Lbs. Found lots of good info on the web for repairing it. D-Lab offers repair of vintage electronics from Ham gear to guitar amps! Enjoy the presentation.

    Nice job. Reminds me of the early 70′s when a friend and I would go to a local Army/Navy surplus store and buy their supply of Bureau of Ships TCS-13 receivers… for $5 if you can believe it. They didn’t need re-capped or repaired; only a 120VAC power supply which we’d build on an upside down bake pan. Best I can remember, every one? of those receivers worked except one which needed the BFO circuit fixed.

  • patrickthepipe says:

    the strange noise on band one is the rubbish from switch mode power supplies?

  • TheTerlingua says:

    I could never see the life of me my amature radio was deregulated no need for morse coe even the military does not use it and a buch of tecknical imformation tahdt went basck to the 20,s when hams built there own equiment and with saterlite comunications thre ismore spae on the spectrum I don,t think above standard broadcast is used for of any thing then thee is coast if there were morehams well I think the cost of equipment would go down I and the tuning iss now al diditl?

  • gadget73 says:

    nice piece. I have an SLR-12B, which was the? “morale” receiver version. Its not as nice as the RCH, but its still a nice piece. EH Scott built some of the best radios money could buy before the war, and their wartime production was just as good. I have a post-war 800B that i’ve refurbished and a pre-war Allwave 15 that is on my list of projects. Both are just amazingly well built.

  • kirwinjd says:

    I have the exact RX! I just pulled it out of storage for the first time in 20 years.
    It? was my first piece of equipment when I got my ham ticket.
    Thanks for sharing this. Do you think it’s worth restoring?

  • KC8YOQ says:

    I have a BC 342n receiver that I restored and now? works great! Great old radio! those beacons are NDB from airports around the world!!!

  • blogbat says:

    Hand-painted the? numbers back on? Wow. Exquisite job.

  • central807 says:

    I believe this radio was one of two different receivers used as part of a larger Federal 167A transmitting set. It was designed to limit spurious emissions and stray oscillations to? prevent enemy submarines from tracking a ship carrying these radio equipment.

  • martinimetford says:

    I just acquired a very nice one of these, and would like to add the impedance step-down transformer so I can use standard 8? speakers. Can you give me the particulars on the model of xfmr you? used? Nobody seems to carry 600:8? matching xfmrs anymore.

  • transconductor88 says:

    Incredible!! Very nice work !!? Love to see top-notch restorations like this.

  • kageykenny says:

    The RCH was also? nomenclatured as the SLR-F, which was the identical receiver. I had one as a young ham, and really loved it. I have two more now in the queue to be restored. Ken Gordon W7EKB

    Very interesting. Nice rebuild job.?

  • imjustpassinthru says:

    I seem to? recall seeing piles of those Navy shortwave radios in war surplus stores in the 1960s. I should have picked up a few when I had the chance. I’ll be they’re rare now.

  • atw9955 says:

    I own an E.H. Scott model RCH that I bought from a WWII vet in 1977. The radio was in service on a light carrier. It was my primary SW RX through my teenage years and went into storage when I was in college. It was a great sw rx, and the am audio? was fantastic. Your video has inspired me to resotore mine!

  • sxcHideki says:

    not? sure, i always thought its against the law to have tech that is able to decode military stuff or police. i really dunno.
