I was scouring CL last week and found a Fisher console out there in the free section. Everything was spelled wrong, and they forgot to put the word "Fisher" in there, so it sat out there, literally. The console was sitting out in front of the house with a tarp part on it, no doors on it or lid, the hinges still stuck in there and bent all over. It was a complete mess and it had been rained and snowed on for at least a few times in the last week or so. And the ad said that it worked. I loaded it up and pulled the Dual turntable, speakers and 21-r/220-T unit. After cleaning it up, contact cleaning and dusting it like crazy, I hooked up a pair of speakers. I was expecting humming and maybe smoke. Other than a couple of bulbs, the thing works and it is quiet. I ordered fresh electrolytics, but the ones in there were original (some marked W Germany) and they looked good and didn't pop. I'm impressed.
