the 340 series is a great receiver. i think there was an a and B series. The 340 a was a robust 27WPC and the 340b was probably more like 30-33wpc. The difference in physical appearance was that the A model looked like the older scotts with the airplane like tuning dial, the 340B had the newer slide rule dial.

They are both excellent receivers.

Schematics for them can be found Here (http://hhscott.com/database/vhhs_00011.html)

Actually (and this isn't a criticism, just a comment) I like the 399 just a wee bit more. They were/are beautiful instruments.

Looks like my Freed Eisemann Model-7 from 1926.

You might want to keep your feet dry while working on tubes :D .
