Be careful on the outside and the tuner dial. Not sure about these Fishers but on some units of this vintage the print is water soluble. Read the manual as it usually will tell you what the face plate can be cleaned with.
Congrats on getting it.
I tested it out and the right channel doesn't seem to be working. If I turn the balance all the way to the right, I still hear it out of the left. Could be it needs a cleaning and could be the right output fuse is bad too. Otherwise, for not having an FM antenna to hook up (The one on my technics system is just a loop antenna, this seems to want one with a L/R/ connector) the stations came in pretty well. Everything lights up that is supposed to.
Any idea where I might get fuses for this?
Yes, I would start off by cleaning all the knobs and switches repeatedly, and hopefully this will get the right channel working. It sounds like this is the problem. Try that and then go from there.
As far as fuses, did you say you have a user's manual? I would think it should say what type of fuse to use for each. If you don't have a manual, then someone here should be able to help you out in some way (Once you know the fuse-type/value, it should be easy to get what you need, I would think). I doubt that the fuses are the cause of the missing right channel because you mentioned hearing SOMETHING out of the right side when you messed with the balance knob, but if it's not a dirty balance knob, then you'll want to check the right-channel speaker fuse and make sure it's not blown (but I would think you'd get no sound at all if one of the skr fuses was bad).
