Fisher Consoles 1945-1958

[Dswankey]

.. I recently acquired and restored a (The) Fisher Model 51 console in great condition. I wrote an article about it on my blog and also made a couple videos. Here is a photo of the finished console as well as the links. I'd be happy to discuss here, enjoy!

Thanks for sharing and I liked this excerpt from your blog

"Despite our plans to replace all the original Fisher and Mullard tubes with new ones (all J.J. brand except a new old stock “military-grade” 6SC7), the old tubes tested surprisingly well for their age."

They usually do

As for discussing here I would suggest creating a separate thread with specific title so others who are interested can find it as this one is primarily a repository of info for the various console and years of manufacture

FWIW: Decided to try the original EL84s today and after a couple hours they (at least one of them) died. Console suddenly stopped putting out bass and midrange. Put the JJs back in and everything was fine again.
