You mean your 'old' Sony has them, 'modern' ones certainly don't

Recently installed a brand new Samsung for friend of the family (not technically minded) and I believe that also had audio out via rca Phonos.

I would suggest not, the phonos are more likely to be audio IN for the AV/Component connection - there haven't been phono outs for a considerable time now.

Scart sockets on the other hand are getting very rare. That new model Samsung didn't have one or even a scart adaptor.”
Not at all, not 'getting rare' - as far as I'm aware only Samsung have dropped SCART totally (yet another reason not to buy Samsung

).
