Shhhh.... Don't tell anybody about this. It is already selling on eBay for more than Marantz 10b. Not many years ago, these extremely rare babies could be found in Goodwill shops, pawn shops, etc. for next to nothing.
You can also do the 310D + 335 MPX, which is what I have, and you'll have essentailly a 4310 or 310E in two boxes. I bought both for 100. each.Bob
Ahhhhh... if you can find one. My dream is to get a 4310 to stuff in my vintage console in the cut-out where my 355 is - same "G" chasis. Scott 130 or LC-21 would fit in the slot where the 299C was....BTW, what's a fair price for a 4310 these days?
Hello,I got mine for a song - $50 at an estate sale, but I believe I have seen them on ebay for over $1000. Also, a Scott 310E( got one of those too) is basically the same except it doesn't have all the bells and whistles for radio stations to use.Also 350 and 350B are excellent(yeah got one of each also) I got a little Scott fetish as you can tell. The 4310 was used to relay FM signals from hilltops so FM could reach farther. I believe the 310E still holds the record for pulling an FM broadcast out of the air - 510 miles!!!!

My hat is off to you. Not often I covet another person's toys. I grew up in the Boston area which was the stronghold for Scott against the mighty Fisher. We used to compare and the 4310 and 350 universally made us think of refined ladies as opposed to the Fisher which seemed more masculine in sound. My personal impressions with the 4310 when new was it exceeded the Marantz 10b in everyway save the scope. The 350 was not quite as good.The Fisher got the nod for brute build similar to the McIntosh but, running a 2nd.
None of these were really 2nd rate and considering what came after, every one of them can warrant a position in the best system of today.
The 4310 is the one tuner I'd gladly surrender my Mc MR77 and MX110 for.
