Exit one President, enter a Fisher Executive

[vintage cltr]

Seeing as I own (3) 1958 Fisher President's, I needed to diversify my collection. So, I made a deal to acquire to a Fisher Executive, but it cost me one President and other things to make it happen.

I wasn't a 100% sold on the Executive, till it arrived. Wow, this thing is cool. I have never owned a Sony reel to reel that is tube. The cabinet is great condition, with a glass top. I was happily surprised it worked but it will require a recap.

For a smaller console, this is very nice piece.

I saw that on Facebook. Didn't realize you traded one of the President tho. VERY NICE Executive.

 

[vintage cltr]

Yeah, didn't want to trade initially, but when the pot got sweeter, I had to pull the trigger. I will say that there (2) Magnavox Concert Grands involved as well. So, you kind understand want was on the table.

Plus, factor in that the market for a high end totl rare Fisher President is small.

Beautiful... that r2r is great when it works. Mine has been down for the count for over a year...

My, that is a nice console. Good luck on the restoration.

Always good to see these Fisher consoles being saved and not parted out, good luck with it!

The styling on your console is absolutely timeless. Wish you were my neighbor.

Hey, one quick question on the Fisher Master Control Amplifier, Model X-101, what size is the front light? Mine is burnt out and it needs to be replaced.


thanks in advance.

If it's a bayonet base, #47 or 1847. Either one will work.

No -- in the X-101, it's a small screw-in type like used in the 400C preamp for its indicator lamps: Technically it is a "T-1 3/4 sub-miniature lamp". #1775 for 6.3 volt operation.
