Tuner if I recall is very similar to a KM-60. Not sure on the integrated. I have the originial manual at my office and would be happy to send you a scanned copy if interested. I may have some additional Fisher console info also although not sure. If you want it, pplease feel free to PM me with your email address and will send you what I have once scanned.

If for some reason I don't send, please send a reminder as I do get lose my mind sometimes!

Christmas in the early-mid '60s...Going to Knoxville sometime around Thanksgiving...Gay Street, the main drag, the "Center of the Universe", all decked out in Christmas lights & decorations...The big dept stores, Miller's, General Products...Whining to get my dad to let me go to the "TV Department"...Ogling at the kewl stereos & roundie color sets...Everybody wearing suits & dresses...Women did NOT wear "slacks' in public then...Shopping all day long, eating at the S&W cafeteria, w/those olive green leather seats...Man, what a magical time...Depressing as hell to drive down Gay Street now, it's all gone....

Gay street, the main drag... what are you saying here? :lmao::tongue:

That REALLY is the name of the "main drag" in Knoxville, Tennessee-Gay Street. It was named that long before it had such deleterious connotations..
