Thanks for preserving this iconic brand of combination stereo, record player and AM FM equipment.

Nicely saved for our listening pleasure. Thank goodness it wasn't scrapped.

Obviously the husband had tired from its prominence in the living room? Thank you for saving this beauty! Hope you enjoy many happy years of joy from this beautiful piece! Your right! It looks brand new!

@@Channel-cm7yc We don’t know? It might have been a hand me down? My parents inherited a Magnavox console stereo from a deceased uncle. Unfortunately nothing worked. My parents inquired about fixing it? The repairman said there was nothing to fix. It was broken for good. The tuner was shot. The record player was also broken. The head shell was broken & the motor didn’t even turn at 33 or 45 rpm’s. It had a hard life in my uncle’s home. It was a ships anchor in my parent’s house. They used it as a table until they moved & the movers left it by the curb for special pick up. Now The Fisher is a totally separate breed of stereo. They were high quality at the time. I should know? I inherited a 500-c about forty years ago. It’s stored in a box in my attic. Unfortunately it no longer works. It is a tube set. I heard they fetch quite a bit of money now in working condition. I might sell it or give it away as I don’t know what is wrong with it?

Fantastic Fisher !!!

That's a beautiful piece. Not the most common to have a Dual changer in a console. Most were Magnavox, Garrard, BSR, etc. Most of them I can rebuild with my eyes closed. I have seen one that had an Ampex reel to reel.

Brings back memories...my family had a similar console stereo, I don't remember the brand but it was purchased from Sears in the late 1960's....could play a stack of 33 LPs. I do remember many hours of enjoyable listening.

Silvertone perhaps? That was Sears' house brand name.

My friend had a console with The Fisher 400 tube receiver and a Thorens TD 124 mounted. He also installed classic drivers from JBL kits to replace the original speakers. Best console I ever heard. It was like having top tier separate components in a console. It destroyed any Clairtone I ever heard.

No sound system I've ever owned matched my family's early 60's Zenith Stereo Console, witch looked a lot like this one.

Beautiful restoration. Sinatra was the perfect choice to play on this console. I own a 1964 Magnavox Astro-Sonic console that needs some attention.

This is a Real Fisher From 1945 to 1969 Avery Fisher Electronics Was Great in 1969 Avery Fisher Sold The Name To Emerson Electronics and That Was The End of Fisher Fisher Between 1962 and 1966 was The Higher End of Stereo Equipment Fisher Was Above McIntosh in Price Point a Wonderful Piece of Fisher History Thank You For Show Casing This Gem

Fisher was below McIntosh and Marantz in price point. Fisher gear is excellent and post 1957, was rhe choice for those who wanted quality but had to respect a budget. Pre-1957 Fisher was priced closer to McIntosh in terms of the high end Fisher components.

You were extremely lucky to be able to acquire such a beautiful machine👍👍

I saw one exactly like it in a thrift store last month for $30. When I returned a week later, someone stole the cartridge head from the turntable. It's common Dual product available on eBay. Only thing that worried me was the speaker surround condition. Good find!

Nice restoration on the console and nice Submariner.

That has a beautiful color.

That RCA console my grandparents had was pretty amazing. I remember when they ordered it. They had a choice of wood & they picked pecan. That was a beautiful unit. Chrystal clear audio too

Breathtaking I love it all!

that dual is great turntable great system

My parents had one like that but it was a bit bigger. It included a reel to reel tape section and had a space expander attachment.

Wow, I bet that thing rocks! Had a best friend who's family had one in the 70's. Glad you saved it buddy.

I have a 1964 Fisher Ambassador with Dual 1009, inherited from an uncle. Still working. Going to have to get rid of it when I move … rather not landfill it. If interested, reply to this post.

I literally stumbled across your channel and glad I did. I love these old console systems. This one is beautiful! New sub

My grandparents had a huge console stereo like this only it was a Dumont. They bought it new in 1966. The record changer was a Garrard. Their first colour TV, which they bought in ‘68 was also a Dumont. Both were purchased wholesale as my grandpa owned a small town furniture and appliance store (in Manitoba).

What a beauty! Boy do i wish you could go over my 1960 Hoffman!

❤1967❤ thank you he must have been Mr roper Three's Company 😂😂😂😂 that is gorgeous❤smh that is a thrift store "gem" never destroy it keep it moving down through the years to someone else keep it as long as you possibly can if you had one of these back in the day you had money to buy something this beautiful people craved these things to have in the house they still hold their charm to me if Frank Sinatra was the chairman of the board Nancy Wilson owned the company❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful music Frank Sinatra Nancy Wilson your stereo sounds amazingly great✌️

I’m so glad you rescued her/ him….😂 Sounds good !

I have my mom’s 1964 Philco that is still working. Of course it probably needs some work. But, it’s really a cool mid century modern console.

My parents bought a Fisher Statesman in 1969 almost identical to yours. Our Fisher had a cassette player built in to the right of the turntable

that is a beauty.

What a beauty, but I bet you had to pay a coin for one back in the day, I can't imagine how much one in this pristine condition would cost now?!! ❤

Hey again: magic performed!

My parents had a nice console from Germany that has a Lowe-Opta receiver, Grundig Reel to Reel, and Dual 1011 turntable. Eventually, couldn't get parts for the receiver, turntable broke and all we have left of it is the Grundig.

@@brianwilson6403 Yes, it had tubes. When you hit the off lever, it used to sound like a gun shot! We got rid of the receiver (early 1980s) after repairmen basically gave up on it. We gutted the console (it was built into the 45 degree pull down drawer), and replaced it with another receiver. Cabinet was very large and beautiful solid walnut?

Reminds me of my 1960 Zenith. I’ve been struggling to figure out the issues with AM and FM not working. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the original turntable instead the prior owner added a BSR which I brought back to life. Still having issues with it though. Hope you enjoy that Fisher. The sound is incredible!

Ahh! olha isso que maravilha!!! Olha! no meu dizer, isso sim que é aparelho de som, esse Fischer é uma maravilha, e sabe, eu prefiro esse lindo Gabinete do que esses aparelhos modernos,, prefiro muito mais os antigos, porquê além da ( durabilidade ) o aparelho ainda funciona com perfeita exatidão! Ahh! look how wonderful!!! Look! In my opinion, that's what a sound system is, this Fischer is wonderful, and you know, I prefer this beautiful Cabinet to these modern devices, I much prefer the old ones, because in addition to (durability) the device still works with perfect accuracy!

Thank you all for the enthusiastic comments.....😊

Every generation says "those were the days", the older I get the more I understand!

There is, or was, a video on KZread which shows the audio equipment Frank Sinatra had at Palm Springs.

I still have my Dads Fischer FM AM reciever from 1967 it's solid state and after 10 years of heavy use didn't sound as good. Attempted to get it repaired twice but still didn't sound right and was replaced with a modest harmon kardon reciever in the late 70s. Is that Fischer worth having fixed and is it worth any thing. He had it paired with KLH model 5s and a dual turntable with a shure superscope cartridge with the turntable and reciever built into a custom cabinet by the Gramophone Shop in Cherry Creek Colorado

What a beautiful device! An elegant design like nothing else, and it sounds good. A little curiosity, does it work with thermionic valves or transistors? It's just a curiosity.

Solid state....

I think there is one of these in my garage.

I used a pencil eraser to replace the pads to hold the record on the spindle

In 1972 my parents had something like that, it had a television. Does yours?

Stereo sound and enjoyment was much better in the console days not so much looking tor for the absolute sound

I have an Orthophonic High Fidelity RCA Victor that has power but hummmms when turned on… Have to get it going, maybe you have an idea what I should do?

Did you have to replace any of the speakers? Most of the speakers i have seen from that era were paper cones in the woofers and mid range.

Nice stereo! I like Fishers. Have you ever serviced a President?

I have a Fisher Futura III in Fruitwood. It's the only console I have that works perfectly. The tuner is amazing and I live in a rural area but it picks up so much just with the factory wire antenna.

I read that Frank had a Fisher too

❤

I heard of people cutting up a belt from a cassette tape deck and gluing it in to the auto spindle.

👍👍👍👍👍

1967? Surprised it doesn't have a liqueur cabinet & ash tray

How much would something like this cost if you wanted to buy it?

Nice unit. I can't decide if your trying to sound English or American, 🤔👍🏼

Probably only 2 giant woofers for speakers.

Not a big fan of the old console stereos I like combos and components I found those things boomy, but the fisher was pretty good as a combo, same equipment in a cabinet is ok hard to tell on my iPad.

01:44 - so is it he a guy or a broad? I'm confused... :| But seriously, nice save! And so many of the Fisher's seem to be in a provincial style, but this one has a much sleeker look to it.

Too bad you did not takeoff the back and let us see the speakers and amp.

Whoever said Fisher didn't make Solid State well was very far off

Is he a guy or a broad?
