Fisher RS-1035 (1981–1983)

The Fisher RS-1035 is an AM/FM stereo receiver built between 1981 and 1983. It is a solid-state design from the tail end of Fisher's classic receiver era. It is rated at 80 watts per channel into 8 ohms from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with no more than 0.009% total harmonic distortion. That figure held up well against the competition of its day.

The rest of the specs point to a well-equipped mid-to-high-end receiver. Damping factor is rated at 80, signal-to-noise ratio at 100 dB, and frequency response at 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The phono stage accepts 2.5 mV input, and the line-level AUX inputs take 150 mV. Inputs are Phono, AUX, Tape 1, and Tape 2. Outputs are Speaker A, Speaker B, Tape 1, and Tape 2, plus a headphone jack. The FM tuner is specified at 1.8 µV sensitivity, 75 dB signal-to-noise ratio, and 45 dB stereo separation. It covers FM 88-108 MHz and AM 530-1600 kHz.

The RS-1035 measures 430 × 141 × 315 mm and weighs 10.5 kg. Power consumption is rated at 220 W. It accepts 110/120/220/240 V AC with a fixed voltage selector.

Documentation on this model is thin. No original price, market positioning, or reception data has surfaced. The record doesn't say whether the tuning dial was analog or digital, and it doesn't detail the rear panel beyond the inputs and outputs listed above.
