via smallsynth in this VSE thread."yes, this completely pointless ghetto blaster is a conversation starter, and stopper. put the hecklers to shame when you play along to "push it" -- that bassline never sounded so fresh. the power is in your hands. $230 including shipping and insurance."
Anyone know if Fisher actually manufactured the keyboard in this? I remember Fisher being one of the premier stereo equipment manufactures at the time. Fisher was King.
Fisher was and is junk.
ReplyDeleteThey made no audiophile gear, just mass produced garbage for the ignorant.
By the time they went out of business, Sears was their main distributor.
What does that tell you?
Trip. I always thought they were good back then. I was only a kid, but I remember it all being about Pioneer and Fisher in the late 70s/early 80s.
ReplyDeleteyou're both right, kinda.
ReplyDeletethe old, US-made fisher is killer big-iron, tube stuff. do a search on ebay for "fisher tube" and you'll see how desirable those pieces are.
but then "the fisher" became "fisher" and production went overseas. probably late 70's? plastic, cheap junk.
Yeah, this is junk-period Fisher stuff. Not from when they were doing serious hi-fi back in the 1960s, up to the early 70s. It's sort of like some other makers like Sansui, Harmon-Kardon, etc, who made serious gear and then went for the cheap sellout mass-market route starting in the 1980s.
ReplyDeleteI agree - I'm not so sure "Fisher [was] King" - Fisher was pretty low-end at this point.
ReplyDeleteTheres some info here. The keyboard is a Casio PT-30
