The Fisher 100-R
#7

Ron;
  The only reason I can think of is cost perhaps? Maybe some sales representative made Mr. Fisher, or his chief purchasing agent, an offer on a rail car full of 6G-E12s, so they used them on their lower end tuners rather then a pair of EM84s. It's sort of odd that they would not have used something like a 6AL7, those are easy to find even now because G.E developed them as a tuning indicator tube for the post war market, but the new design never really caught on, and the magic eye craze was pretty much over by then anyhow. I think that the only units that used 6AL7 tubes, were G.Es, Dumont TVs and combo units, and some RCA Orthophonic AM/FM Hi Fis, I did have a Northern Electric AM tuner out of a combo unit that used one but that doesn't really count. EM84s are one of the magic eyes with a fan shaped display are they not?
Regards
Arran
