Fisher 100-C (circa 1964–1965)
Not much is documented about the Fisher 100-C, and even the model number comes in two forms. Period reviews from 1964-65 attach the “100-C” designation to both an FM-100-C, an FM stereo tuner, and an X-100-C, a 50-watt stereo control-amplifier. The source material doesn't say whether the Archive's 100-C entry was meant to cover one, the other, or both.
Here is what the period sources do say. HiFI-Stereo (July 1965, p.25) listed the FM-100-C at $249.50, called it unbeatable value at that price, and noted it was Fisher's best-selling tuner. High Fidelity (November 1964, p.5) listed the X-100-C, a 50-watt stereo control-amplifier, at $169.50, with headphone jack, direct tape monitor, and high filter. HiFI-Stereo (June 1965, p.21) gave the amplifier's size as 15 1/8 by 4 13/16 by 11 7/8 inches and its weight as 23 pounds.
Past those fragments - a price, a power rating, a few features, and a set of dimensions - the Archive holds nothing else. There is no schematic, no service manual, no bench test, no confirmed production span, and no answer on whether “100-C” was a tuner, an amplifier, or a shared designation across two models. If you own a Fisher 100-C, FM-100-C, or X-100-C, the record would welcome the details.
