Fisher 101
Not much is documented about the Fisher 101. The Archive has no fact sheet, service manual or independent review under this exact model number. The only period material that turns up for "Fisher 101" is advertising for a related name, the Fisher X-101. Surviving sources can't confirm whether "101" was shorthand for the X-101 or a separate model.
As advertised, the X-101 was a combination stereo master audio control and duplex amplifier. Fisher's own ads in High Fidelity (February 1959, p.121) and Audio (March 1959, p.39) listed it at $189.50, with a matching cabinet at $24.95. They described 40 watts in stereo, 75-watt peaks, and 12 inputs for stereo and monophonic program sources.
That is all the record gives. There are no production years, no further specifications, and no confirmation that the 101 and X-101 were the same product. If they were distinct, virtually nothing about this model has survived.
