A stereo integrated tube amplifier produced by Fisher Radio Corporation in the early 1960s.
Overview
The Fisher X 101 C is a stereo integrated vacuum tube amplifier made by Fisher Radio Corporation. It works as a pre-main amplifier. A hinged control cover keeps the input selector, mode selector, volume control and headphone terminal out front, and hides the other switches and controls under a panel.
