Just happened to stumble across one of these and have no Idea if it is an amp or what. Was wondering if anyone knew anything about it and if iT would be worth picking up? I googled it and found no information. The unit features five tubes. The two of thetubes are marked "ECF80" and "ECC82/12AU7".

Certainly something for a collector, but not much use for it today.Political Correctness'.........defined

It's very much still useful today, as it will allow one to use virtually any of the many excellent mono tube FM tuners (many still fairly inexpensive and wonderful sounding) to listen to MPX stereo broadcasts. As long as the tuner has a detector output, the decoder should work with it. Scott should be a good one.Certainly something for a collector, but not much use for it today
Besides the Scotts and the McIntoshes (the Marantz 10B was already MPX stereo), a personal favorite line of FM tube tuners includes the Sherwoods, which have decent sensitivity and selectivity, and sound really wonderful. I use an S-2000 AM/FM (mono) in my living room hi-fi.

I think that qualifies as not much use for.

If there're good FM stations where you live, a good tuner adds value. If not, then it doesn't.
A good mono tube tuner and a good MPX adapter will get you excellent tuner performance at (potentially) modest cost.
There is still some decent programming in the Boston area (listening to some right now, in fact, but on the family room system -- vintage SS Yamaha tuner and amp and Polk Monitor 7A's).
