to the uppermost of two rails that sit atop the ground rail. The 260's power amplifier is a quasi-complementary design. The final design was introduced in the 344A and the 348, in mid 1965. The 260 was the second application of the 344 circuit, and was an intermediate step in the evolution of an amplifier circuit that became the penultimate design for higher power Scott units until the introduction of complementary designs in 1969. The 344 had no circuit boards and resembled audion amplifiers in that respect, and was the last audio component to be issued by Scott that had point to point wiring. It had little in common with its predecessor, the transformer coupled 4270 amplifier that was manufactured in 1963, but much to do with the 344 receiver that was first marketed in the fall of 1964. The Stereomaster 260 was the first all-silicon, capacitively coupled solid state amplifier to be introduced as a consumer item by Scott. Very nice Scott 260 Amp for light re-conditioning or parts. But thats the only testing i was able to do.

looks to be in great condition, all knobs and switches work good ( missing a couple of the gold caps that go no knobs), checked fuses (all good), cabinet & chrome face (nice), Amp powers up great. Leo also dropped by some very special albums - vintage and new - that I'll be telling you about - stay tuned.Vintage H H Scott Stereomaster 260 Power Amplifier in nice condition. I'll have some more vintage news to share in due time too, as Leo left some NOS RCA black plate 6L6GCs to try in my McIntosh MC30s (I'm almost afraid to hear them - I know how good black plates are!). When I listen to something like the stereomaster I have to wonder where enthusiast audio missed the corner, because it is one terrific integrated amplifier, it is beautiful looking with its wood case and gold faceplate, and so practical with its onboard phono stage, certainly music lovers would be thrilled to be able to buy something like this today! I believe these sold for around $150 USD way back when, and now you can still find very nice examples of them for around $1000 - $1500 USD - which is a bargain for this level of performance. If you can find one of these beautiful little stereomaster integrated amps in good condition you should buy it on the spot! We were really impressed with its ability to portray engaging melody, rhythm, and tempos, and with its rich and warm overall balance - a terrific music lovers integrated amp! It doesn't sound as powerful at 18 watts as you would expect, but it still had enough power to drive the Westminsters to satisfyingly loud levels with the volume cranked up when using the low output phono setting. The Leben is a little more modern sounding, being brighter and more detailed, and doesn't have the onboard phono stage, but it is a similar idea, and built beautifully - a modern classic. If you like the Leben CS-300 you'd love the stereomaster. I was impressed with the rich, luxurious sound from the little stereomaster. Ron's stereomaster is in beautiful condition and the combination of gold faceplate and wood cabinet looks gorgeous! The phono stage of the stereomaster has both low & high gain settings, and the pair of EL84 outputs in push-pull configuration puts out about 18 watts, says Ron. The superb Panatela speaker cables & interconnects just weren't quite long enough to reach so we improvised with the chair! You'll have to give us a pass on the innovative audio stand we used - a chair - with an Acoustic Revive RAF-48 Air Floating Board sitting on its cushion for the stereomaster. Ron, Leo, George and I had a ball listening to music as usual! Food, good wine, good music, and friends makes for a great Sunday of hi-fi fun & games! Scott stereomaster vacuum tube integrated amplifier from his vintage collection. It was another fine vintage Sunday at Jeff's Place with Ron bringing over his beautiful example of the H.H.
