Fisher MT-6220 (Unknown Years)
A two-speed belt-drive turntable made in Japan, featuring a DC servo motor and variable speed control.
Overview
The Fisher MT-6220 is a direct entry in the brand's later turntable lineup, manufactured in Japan. Though Fisher is best known for its high-fidelity tube-era gear from the 1950s and 60s, this model belongs to a later period under Emerson Radio's ownership. It functions as a two-speed turntable with belt drive and includes a DC servo motor for stable operation. The unit ships with a headshell, cartridge, elliptical stylus, and lubricating oil. A known service point is the drive belt, which wears over time and has a designated replacement part.

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