biscuit; Actually FISHER's consoles into the Solid State era were pretty damned good considering they were consoles. Some of the lower ended units were getting receivers installed in them in 67', and the trend continued up thru '69 with the Executive getting the 500-TX as the receiver. The President was still separates. The 1st few years used Germanium transistors (no Silicon's that would handle the power yet) but don't let that stop you. By 69' it was all silicon.
The 31-R is the TOTL all in one for consoles with the large style faceplate like the 65Futura/Ambassador. So it won't make a compact receiver by itself. It's a good well built receiver. Fisher had a few designs, that today with hindisght are picked apart like vultures on a buffalo carcass, but back then were well thought of. Same with Scott, Sherwood, Dynaco, Eico, Heathkit, and just about everyone else who built 1st gen transistorized units.
Styles were changing in the late 60's also. Cabinets became more gaudy, and dark. Wife's still "ruled the roost" for furniture, and this particular style was popular back then . Today, not so much, except for some older folks (I'm 60 so I'm not old enough yet).
But Not for the price they are asking, and definately NOT that cabinet type.
