Vintage Stereo System Appraisal

I have or have had examples of all of those models.

My first piece of advice would be to not power the equipment up if it may not have been previously powered up for a long time (meaning a considerable number of years). Vintage equipment that has not been powered up in many years should initially have its ac power brought up slowly, with a variac or other variable ac power supply, to "reform" its electrolytic capacitors, and also to insure that any overheating is detected in its early stages.

Assuming that everything is in good cosmetic condition, and nothing is missing (such as knobs), I would say as a very rough ballpark that valuations are as follows:

335: $150 to $250
222: $75 to $150
314: $25 to $50

I would hazard a guess that the speaker might be a 12" Jensen (the make and possibly the model number will be indicated on it at the rear). If so, and if only one speaker is present, my guess as to its value would be $25 to $50, assuming it works and that there are no rips or tears in its cone.

Audiogon would certainly be an appropriate place to sell these items.

There is a lot of information about vintage Scott equipment at this site:

A 'dirty' cheap way to bring up unused stereo equipment is to turn it on for only a fraction of a second. Then wait a minute. then turn it on for a full second. Then again for 2-3 seconds. This does a 'quick and dirty' slow start for the caps. Better than turning it on a seeing if it blows up... but not as good as using a variac. For stuff you just HAVE to see if it works. NOT for really valuable stuff worth protecting.

Never turn a tube amp on without speakers hooked up.A lot of people turn it on to see if the tubes are lighting up.That can destroy the output transformers.Being that it only has one speaker,its a possibility.
