It was the first of the 310 series to have a multiplex output jack, so with the addition of a Scott 335 multiplex adapter you can have stereo sound. Rather than go through each individual model, one by one, I’m going to pick representative products from each series for more in depth review. While a 310C is different than a 310D, they are similar enough that both need not be discussed in detail. In some cases such as the 330C and 330D, the differences are primarily in the front panels and AM circuits, the FM tube complement and arrangement are identical. While 310s were more expensive than 311s, and 350s were better than 370s, 350s were also better than 314s and 312s.

When you consider it was listed for $480 in 1963, which in 1987 dollars is about $1475, it has just about held its value. It was outrageously expensive in 1963, and in 1987 is still exorbitant.

Scotts’ first FM tuner, the 310A was introduced in December 1954. It was boxy, 4 1/2 ” by 13″ by 10 1/4″ housed in a metal case. Its 11 tubes all pointed downward.
