Fisher 250 (c. 1968–1970)

What survives about the Fisher 250 comes almost entirely from period advertising — and even the model's name is unsettled. Fisher first advertised it in 1968 as the 250-T, then listed it as the 250-TX from late 1969 through 1970. Whether the suffix change marked a real circuit revision or just a marketing update isn't documented.

The 250 was an AM/FM stereo receiver rated at 120 watts. HiFI-Stereo (September 1968, p.3) ran a Fisher ad emphasizing the bank of pushbuttons on the receiver's right side — Tune-O-Matic memory tuning that let the owner preset any five FM stations and switch between them electronically, a system the ad called dead accurate. High Fidelity (September 1970, p.2) carried a later Fisher ad positioning the 250-TX at $349.95 as "your best buy" among 120-watt receivers, and the same magazine's Christmas Shopping Guide (December 1969, p.139) listed it as a 120-watt AM-FM stereo receiver.

Beyond that, the record is thin. No owner's manual, schematic, or independent bench test has surfaced in the Archive's holdings, so the 250 survives as one of those Fisher models known mainly through the company's own promotions.
