aadown1214 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hello all, found what I considered to be just an old console at a thrfit store last week until I did a little research. Come to find out that I am now the new owner of a 1962/1963 Fisher Statesman. I don't know a whole lot about this unit, besides what it is. Any advice on how to restore this one to what it used to be would be greatly appreciated. I paid $75 for it and the radio sounds incredible, but I want to get a turn table back in it, etc..

tube fanatic Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Do you have experience in restoring vacuum tube electronics and working with potentially lethal voltages? If not, don't consider touching it; rather, seek the help of a qualified repair technician. If you can, post the model # of the chassis which it uses (close-up pix of the chassis, etc. would be helpful also). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aadown1214 Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Is there any particular place there would be a model number besides on the receiver itself? I'll try to get some pictures on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tube fanatic Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 If it's the one that I'm thinking of, there should be a separate chassis for the amplifier mounted on the bottom shelf of the cabinet (the model number will be stamped on it). Another chassis, containing the AM/FM tuner and phono sections, is what is mounted on top with the controls and face plate. This is a nice find as the amplifiers used in such consoles are really nice and, once restored to ensure safe operation, can provide many years of terrific listening enjoyment!

aadown1214 Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 I've attempted to get some of the pictures of it on here with no success. If you can pm me your email, I'll happily send them to you. Not sure if this one had an amp with it or not. If it did, it is no longer there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
