Christmas '17 Project: The Fisher 100-T Coronet
#1

As many of you know, every year around this time I pick a radio to restore over the holiday season.

This year, I couldn't decide whether to tackle the 37-675X Standard I picked up earlier this year from Sean, or a Fisher 100-T Coronet tuner-preamp.

So I flipped a coin...and the Fisher won.

Our cat, Виктор, seemed to approve of my choice.

(Виктор = Victor)

anyway...a frontal shot without flash:

Purchased from the auction site, it was advertised as working on AM but not on FM.

My plans for this are to couple it to one of those miniature Lepai or Dayton Audio power amplifiers such as those sold by Parts Express, and install both in the small credenza in the living room.

The Coronet has its own volume, balance and tone controls, so a miniature audio amp would only need its volume set once, then forgotten; using the Fisher's volume control from then on.

Anyway, that's the plan.
