Many years ago I brought at auction a Fisher radio-phonograph console. Although it has a nameplate, I can not read a model # on it. I think it dates back to circa 1947. It has minatiure tubes in the FM front end, locktal tubes in the IF stages and first 2 audio stages and 6L6 s in the output stage. It uses a 15" inch Stephens "Tru-Sonic"speaker. also included is a 5 tube scratch supresser chassis and a 4 tube dynamic range expander chassis. these 2 accessories are hoked up to the phono only. Would like to get more info on this as to what reccord changer did it have originally,a wiring diagram for it. any another info I can get. several years ago I talked to The Fisher Doctor in Staten Island N.Y. and he never heard of it. This has a shipping label on the back with a Bleeker Street, New York address on it. Radio has 3 bands AM, FM, SW. Thanks in advance on any info you can provide. Norman

This is likely either very late Philharmonic Radio (Fisher's predecessor company) or one of the earliest Fisher Radio Corporation consoles. Back then, these were custom made mainly. Record changer likely was a period Garrard or a Webster and a manual table could have been fitted as a third option.

Thanks Ken, since my first post I found a Fisher thread on Audiokarma website. I was told it was a model 24B of 1947.
