I was fortunate enough to stumble across this fantastic Fisher console right here in my home town. There is a younger fellow who is into antiques and came looking for a weight for a wall clock. In the course of the conversation he mentioned he had a Fisher console.
Since he is going to "Brimfield" a large outdoor flea market in Mass shortly he mentioned he could use some clocks. So I called him back and asked if was interested in a trade. he said sure and so today I traded some clocks for this console. This has the 800C 22 tube chassis and a Garrard type A record changerin the French Provincial cabinet. The speaker compliment is (2) 12" woofers (4) 5" mid range and (2) 3 1/2" tweeters. It also included some great literature as well as a six album boxed set of lp's from 1977.
I have started cleaning the set and have found the two brass caps for the knobs and the short spindle for the record changer.
Here are some pics.
