Fisher MT-6220 (Unknown Years)
A two-speed belt-drive turntable made in Japan, with a DC servo motor and variable speed control.
Overview
The Fisher MT-6220 comes from the brand's later turntable lineup and was made in Japan. Fisher is best known for its tube-era hi-fi gear of the 1950s and 60s, but this one belongs to the later period under Emerson Radio's ownership. It is a two-speed, belt-drive turntable with a DC servo motor for stable speed. It ships with a headshell, cartridge, elliptical stylus, and lubricating oil. The drive belt wears over time, so it is the known service point, and there is a designated replacement part for it.

Market
A replacement belt for the MT-6220 (part number FISB38a) is available from multiple vendors for $17.90. It also fits the Fisher MT-51, 22AF-695, and XA-250. Replacement stylus #200-D7C and complete motor assemblies (Fujiya DMS-148F with board) turn up through specialty retailers and eBay. One owner reported finding a unit with a damaged Pickering TLE cartridge, which suggests that cartridge was originally fitted or commonly paired with it. The turntable also shows up in user discussions comparing it to the Pioneer PL117D, which suggests it was competitively positioned in its era.
