I just got my Fisher console home. It is a 1964 Statesman IV, Model S-79. It has a Garrard Model A II turntable and a Fisher reel to reel tape deck. The cabinet is a 1960s modern style. The unit is in good shape overall. Want to restore this and hear how it sounds.
Had a couple of questions:
Is there a good amp and tuner rebuild pack or kit out there that is friendly to a novice. I have exchanged capacitors and completed some basic chassis work on old radios, but not on a nice vintage Fisher.
The speaker connectors that plug into the power amp are gone - cut off by the previous owner.
One of the slide switches is broken on the tuner chassis. Any ideas where this switch can be found.
The cabinet power on indicator jewel is missing. Any ideas here.
The tape deck says made in Sweden any idea who was the manufacturer.
The on-off/volume switch does not have a click to it when it is rotated, so I'm guessing that the on-off switch is broken.
Any advice is greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Robert
