Anyone familiar with these? Fisher CA-2400 Stereo Integrated Control Amplifier and FM-2400 tuner

[cmarti]

Found these two this morning, they are in pristine condition, I am afraid of doing my usual face plate cleaning because I noticed that the printed letters were coming off from the three head cassette deck that I assume came with these two.

Is there anyone familiar with these two pieces?



Edit: Here are additional pictures of the tuner and integrated amp, the construction looks very Marantz like. https://imgur.com/gallery/JF5QdjA

FM-2400 Spec's and manual https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/fisher/fm-2400.shtml
CA-2400 from what I found is 80W, but whether discrete or a STK chip is not known. Can't find any Service manuals except on E-PREY. Probably late 70's or Early 80's. Tuner spec's are probably on par with mid grade PIONEER or other's of the era.

Cleaning.......Windex and a micro cloth. DAB, DO NOT RUB. Once clean, pull the facepiece and hit with clear lacquer (semi gloss) to seal lettering in.

That you so much for the pointer on how to clean it.

Do these pictures help identify if it is discrete or uses STK chip?

I'm not seeing STKs in there. A lot of 70's Fisher gear has almost no documentation in repair manuals and schematics. How does it sound?

Sounds very Marantz/big Realistic from the '70s like. Full-bodied and solid, just like I like it!

Great to hear! That's how my RS 2010 sounds!

Talking about RS, I own the Realistic STA-2100 and the SA-2000.

The later fisher stuff even in the 70s still look like high quality I bet it sounds HIFI!

Indeed, it sounds killer. Playing Mountain's first album and the bass guitar sounds kickass.
