At US$1,199, this sits above the old factory-era pricing but that’s not the right yardstick anymore; for a 299-D in today’s used tube market, it reads as fair to slightly ambitious if it’s fully original and healthy, and too high if it needs restoration or has uncertainty around the version/parts mix. Comparable Scott 299-family pieces do turn up around the high hundreds to low four figures, with a 299C example at US$890 and a 299B historical retail of US$220, underscoring how much current value depends on condition, originality, and service history.
The attraction here is the classic Scott sound and build: these integrateds are prized for their smooth, musical midrange, solid tube staging, and handsome industrial design, and the 299 line has real collector cachet as one of the early stereo tube integrateds. If this one is clean, matched, and recently serviced, it can be a very satisfying buy; just make sure the listing is clear on originality, tube set, and whether it has been recapped, because age-related work is where the real cost lives on these amps.

H.H. Scott emerged as a cornerstone of American hi-fi in 1947, founded by MIT-trained engineer Hermon Hosmer Scott in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Initially housed in an old shoe factory, the company built on Scott's pre-war innovations in noise suppression to pioneer FM tuners and stereo integration, distinguishing itself from an earlier Chicago firm by adopting the H.H. initials. This heritage positioned H.H. Scott at the forefront of the post-war audio boom, shaping the golden age of high-fidelity sound.
The brand focused on premium home audio components, excelling in tube amplifiers like the legendary 299 model, groundbreaking FM stereo tuners such as the 350, and integrated receivers. Its product range emphasized engineering precision in amplification and tuning, delivering exceptional clarity and performance that defined mid-century listening experiences.
Today, H.H. Scott holds iconic status among vintage collectors and audiophiles, revered for its benchmark role in establishing hi-fi standards during the 1950s and 1960s. Though production ceased decades ago, restored originals command premium prices in the niche market for golden-era American gear, prized for their robust build and timeless sonic excellence.
