Used product for
More than 1 year

Price Paid:  $5.00 from yard sale

Summary:
I picked this up at a yard sale 15 years ago for the walnut case only. I was
amazed at the quality of the tuner. Best I've ever heard, AM and FM. Extremely
sharp tuning. Can't say enough about it. I've got probably about 20-25 tuners
and receivers, Fisher, Scott, Eico,Dynaco, Sansui,Kenwood etc. I'll take this little
Fisher any day. Nothing like this plastic Chinese junk offered today. Believe me.

Strengths:
Awesome tuner. Best I own. Amplifier is great too. Only 20 wpc, but, sound is
great. A real sleeper....

Weaknesses:
No tape loop. But, no big deal.

Similar Products Used:
HH Scott 382, 382B,348,388,344C,LT112B,350,LT110 etc,etc. Many Eico's,
Dyna's, Fisher's, + Japs.

I remember these. Fisher was definetely a leader in the solid state age at the time they made this item. My friends father had this model or one similar to it and in fact does what you claim it does. Kelsci.

Price Paid:  $150.00 from Ebay

Summary:
Extremley clean sound, deep smooth bass, one the best receivers I have ever heard, plenty of power. Can't say anything negative about this receiver, nothing in todays market sounds as clean. No fancy gimmicks or useless features on this model, AM/FM radio, phono input, tape and aux.

Strengths:
Extremley well built and engineered, AM/FM tuner extremley sensitive. Built in 1968 and still not obsolete. All modern components can be hooked up, CD/DVD player, tape deck etc..

Weaknesses:
None that I can think, some would say not having a remote is a weakness, but the crisp clean sound more than makes up for not having a remote. I would take this stereo over any so called "modern" day cheap Chinese made stereo w/ remote!
