A console stereo combining tube and transistor technology, part of Fisher’s premium Futura series.
Overview
The Fisher Futura VI F-590 is a console stereo made by Fisher Radio. Research identifies it as part of the Futura series from the mid-1960s. It follows earlier models like the Futura IV F-58-W and Futura V F-59, though no explicit hierarchy between them is documented.
