Context
Avery Fisher founded Fisher Radio Corporation in New York City in 1937. The aim was audio equipment that accurately reproduced live performances. The President VII 7000 came out in 1962 with integrated multiplex stereo reception at a premium price. It was available with or without a tape recorder, and the 7000X-A cost less because it left that component out.
