Very early Fisher Radio piece. Such a shame it is not still housed in the original cabinet complete with knobs as then its value would likely be exceptional -- but hardly boat anchor material. Since it appears to have been neatly gone through, some enterprising person who appreciates the earliest Fisher gear could easily enough install it back in a console, and find an appropriate speaker for it to operate with. Appears to receive the standard broadcast (AM) frequencies, plus a long wave band (the top band), and a short wave band (bottom), all with standard Fisher eye tube to optimize tuning. The extra indicator lamps are likely for Phono and maybe an Aux input.
Based on the 5881 output tubes installed, the extensive use of metal octal tubes, lack of any miniature tubes or IF cans, and lack of any FM band -- Armstrong or current day -- I'd peg the unit as very early 50s production.
Any detailed discussion of value must be had in the Dollars and Sense Forum on AK, where there it can be openly discussed. Understandable that this piece won't be for everyone, but do please find a good home for it!!! Even in its current condition, they are quite rare.
