Tuner has SHORTWAVE !!! Amazing.

I love my 1967 Fisher Regent ...

Before the pandemic I could visit three thrift stores on my way to work. Passed up several consoles every week. Most were GE or RCA. I retired so go hardly at all, but haven’t seen a console since.

A REEL-TO-REEL IN A CONSOLE??? How awesomely retro is THAT???

I so want one. Years ago I saw a Fisher president Stereo console for sale, and it must have been an early one as it had two, or most of the monaural components, to make the whole thing stereo. I was rather expensive at the time and I had no money so I could not buy it. I'll put it on my bucket list. I love Fisher equipment, along with Marantz, HH Scott (E.H. Scott too), McIntosh also.

The style the sound absolutely amazing absolutely gorgeous

Very nice fisher. I have a 1964 These were such great consoles Very good quality

First thing i noticed was the Y960 Tuner there on the bench.. lol. Can't wait to restore my YT960. Great videos

fisher made good stuff back in the day

My father had a floor model console and before he passed I adopted it. I had for 2 years decided to plug it up. Everything came on but the sound. So I took an old receiver I had and was not using it open the back plug up the receiver to the speakers and they worked along with the turntable so got an idea of fitting this receiver into the cabinet. Went to HOME DEPOT got some wood had it cut and lay the block of wood into the cabinet and fitted the receiver in there perfect. Got some paint finish and OLD ENGLISH WAX and the sound is so pure and perfect. I cannot believe I did this all by myself. Now when I am at I just sit there and just stare at it. I did not want to invest money and getting the original amp fixed so it was upgraded to a SONY RECEIVER and now my project is complete

If I may say you should have found someone to fix the original receiver.

That Redwood City location is where Ampex Corporation developed THE FIRST Videotape Recorder in 1956. A Monumental Achievement that changed the Television Industry.

Éso es eterno ahí siempre estará bien cuidado.

Wonderful!!! It’s a Fisher!!!

Auto-reverse in that era? wow, never knew that

Nice repair job on the Ampex 2100. The fidelity is incredible and it was the top of the line for Ampex consumer audio.

Superb piece, well it is a Fisher after all ! I would love this...

Beautiful console unit

Super nice Fisher hi-fi console. Why is it on something like a forklift? These were meant to be put on the floor. So remember Fisher,Scott and Magnavox hi-fi consoles from, those bygone days. My dad used to have those Command records-used to listen to them. When Mom and Dad passed away don’t know what happened to Dads records. Got some of Moms-she passed them to me before she moved to a retirement home.

Those were the days!

I have a wide one it late 1950s like 58 or 1959 it plays records and it's made in England, I think the brand it's a Magnavox. it's cool to see yours. thanks for sharing.👍🙂

That is so beautiful.

This is a great record player ❤

👍👍👍

I always loved the console and was sorry when they stopped making them. Back in the 60's lots of electronics were packed into nice looking luxurious furniture like the console TV. They were so luxurious to look at and the sound was out of this world. Fischer back in 1967 was probably pretty good but in the early 80's they were considered low line quality electronics. Thanks for sharing this video and for keeping this marvelous piece in excellent shape Steve. Good for you. Oh and that music you're playing on the reel-to-reel is the kind of music my father loved. He loved symphony music a lot. I was soothing to listen to. Most of his music, of course, were on the 12" LP's. I remember Percy Faith being one of them. I sure miss the old stereo console system. I can't remember what the brand name was. It belonged to my father when I was a young kid. Your console looks like solid state vs. my fathers which had tubes in it. Access to everything was on the very top of the console unlike this one. It had AM/FM a phonograph record player and a tape deck. I think it was a cassette tape deck though.

The only thing I find where they lack is their ability to play rock well. These are best with classical, jazz, easy listening and light rock. Heavy rock and heavy classical can sometime get too boomy but I also never heard every type of console out there. It's just my limited experience.

When I was a child in the 1960's a family friend, had a very nice console set, with a built in TV. I was always so jealous of them for having that wonderful console. Although I never got to hear it play.

My old coffin⚰️ box would play heavy rock just fine, and framton comes alive would rock the house down 🎉😊

Nice set, those definitely good sounding, I remember those as a kid. Thanks for sharing

Dare I say, needs more cowbell !! I remember when I was a kid we had an acetate single record that was similar to that LP. It came with the radiogramme to explain the superior sound, way back in the day.

Wowza

Are you playing the music of the Mantovani orchestra?, love that I wish you love.

How about a view of the speakers or is that in an earlier video?

Beautiful music. I wonder who that is playing.

When the name Fisher stood for something that was above beyond the usual mass market dreck in console stereo’s. By the late 60’s console Stereo’s were starting to get cheap and sound quality was starting to become and afterthought over convenience. These were not cheap either. I favored earlier Motorola’s and The Fisher in these platforms! Everything else in a console was pretty meh..

Except for Magnavox....which outsold all its competition in every price class. A Magnavox Imperial in proper tune will amaze.
