Is this a tube receiver?

[nick12345]

This receiver is in an old console. Is it a tube unit? I don't have much experience with old tube receivers so I wouldn't know. I don't see any exposed tubes, but what's under those metal covers on the PCB? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I don't see any tubes, just a bunch of filters in the FM section.

Looks ss to me.

SS, probably based off the 250 or 450 receiver.

Solid state.

Early generation Solid State, 1967-1968 era. Still genuine Avery era USA Made Fisher Radio Corporation era. Fisher Consoles were among the elite of consoles, keep her intact, please. A classic piece of audio history.

Not mine. The pictures are from CL, and it's a few hours each way. Had it been a tube unit, let's just say it could be a serious score. There is also a Dual TT in it. The seller says it works. I think the price is still pretty good (though I don't want to get into a value discussion here), but it's a long way to go just for a SS console. I would have gone had it been a tube unit. I mean, I'm talking major score here.

probably still a pretty good SS unit seems to me.

Depensa on price but, these early SS Fisher are pretty good and starting to get noticed more. The turntable is possibly a Dual such as a 1019. Before dismissing it, I'd suggest taking a look and listen. Fisher console cabinets are well built during that period, some serious woodwork.

Looks like the Dual is a 1214. The headshell is apparently broken. The console looks like a quality piece but I have no need for it and it's over a 2-hour drive each way. If it was closer I'd be interested, but I'll let someone else get this one. Consoles seem to be frequent items at thrift stores; eventually something good ought to show up.

Asheville Craigslist if anyone is wondering.
