    Chicago Area Hifi Fair, September 17th 2022

    Technically it's only about 5 miles from Chicago, but that's because O'Hare is gerrymandered into the city, really more like 12 miles from city limits. I promise though, I won't have a baseball bat!

    Hi All, I'm very seriously considering purchasing a pair locally, but am not completely familiar with all the iterations and permutations of these famous speakers.

    Found a Fisher Custom Sixty/360 with Stephens & Jensen!

    Thanks Larry - I remember reading that the z-matic was only used in 1955, I'm not sure what that is based upon. Does the Ambassador still have the "Custom Sixty" written on the tuner or was that replaced?

    Hi all, does anyone have a schematic for this amp? mono with quad 6v6 output? The RS-147 as I understand it was the console version of the SP-20. I looked through threads but they all link to a site that has taken down the schematic thanks
