FWIW, there is a service manual available from analogalley on the web for the Fisher MT-6225.
I spent a good deal of time yesterday installing and setting up my Denon DL-160 cartridge using the Hi-Fi News test record. Right after, I lost a channel, and pulled the TT apart.
Found a cold solder joint, and Voila!
Also, I noticed in an earlier post that someone had trouble with the speed remaining constant. I adjusted the DC balance pots (In the Drive Signal section) per the service manual and the speed problem was instantly corrected.
This table has much better tracking resonance characteristics than my Marantz 6200, incidentally, although I really like both tables. I suspect this might be due to the fact that the Fisher has essentially no mechanical transmission components. The platter being basically the armature of the motor is, I think, a really solid design.
Mine is located between my left and right speaker setup, although on a seperate table, and at about 110-120db SPL has no noticeable feedback problems at all. My speaker setup is JBL 4430 and L-65, one each per side.
I can't say enough about proper setup and alignment of the cartridge for superior results, including making sure the tone arm/cartridge is parallel to the record surface. I also adjusted the anti-skating control in reference to the test tracks on the setup record.....The numbers on the adjustment wheel are innacurate when matched to the tracking force, at least on my turntables.
Hope this is helpful....

BTW, the bubble level was not stock on the turntable, according to the photo on the service manual, and is not listed in the parts lists. That does not mean that it wasn't a Fisher option, however.
