Mfg from 1961-1964 orig msrp was $355.00

The 355 was introduced in 1961 as a more versatile replacement for the older 399; as such it was the only Stereo Preamp-Tuner product ever produced by Scott.

As a Tuner/Preamp the 355 had no basic power amplifier section like the 399 Receiver. Instead the 355 provided a cathode follower, line-level, preamp out.

Just add the basic power amp of your choice, usually a Scott Type 208, but Mac's and Dyna's were also popular choices.

AM/FM-MPX- Stereo Control Center
(Stereo Tuner-Preamp)

designed for piggy-back mounting to the
Type 208 power amp

The 355 added true FM-MPX stereo reception utilizing the 350/335 decoder design, incorporating the "Stereo Guide," 6AV6 tube indicator.

As "Simulcast Stereo" was becoming obsolete, the 355 was the only Scott AM/FM tuner to share a (very rare) common circular tuning dial. Scott engineers cleverly resurrected the 300/320 tuning gang, but thankfully left the more complex dial-cord string and slide-rule dial inventory untouched.
