Hey guys picked up this Fisher tonight locally, spotted it on ebay afew days ago and knew i had to have it! chucked the seller an offer which he was happy with and went after work today to get it, normally a return trip would take 1-1 1/2 hours max but today i went home through the city just when a killer rain storm hit meaning it took me just over 3 hours to get home lol, but it was worth it!
this thing is so mint its unbelievable, apparently the seller bought it from an old dude who owned it from new and kept it in storage for 20+ years, it definately looks that way as everything is so new looking, all the chrome is perfect, no scratches or dents or anything, only minus is that the top of the speaker boxes have a bit of fading but thats nothing.
the tape deck works flawlessly (i've never owned a logic tape deck until now, i love it!), and the sound of this thing is amazing, this one will definately be a keeper!
heres some pics :) (sorry they are from my phone!)

Not into many 3 piecers but this is one of the exceptions.

As soon as i saw it listed, I knew it would go for a few $'s.........

It looked absolutely sensational in the listing pictures.

Thanks for the comments guys! shes definately a huge solid job. This is my first 3 piecer so i havent really got anything else to compare it with yet. The sound is is so refined from this thing it just reeks of quality. Does anybody know what these were worth brand new back in the day?

Rick will know. I had the pleasure of listening to his when I was over visiting and it blew me away. Seriously the best sounding boombox I've ever heard. I'm sure he will vouch similar :-D
BIG congrats!! High 5!!
