after kicking it around for a little bit, I'm going ahead and building 2. I have one complete, albeit the cabinet is rough, but who cares? to me, there is something about having a cabinet still together from 1957. I mean the stories these units could tell. I love the crazing peeling laquer finish. Yes the door are missing, but not a deal breaker. I can make copies. Realistically, the console needs the top re-veneered. Not an impossible task.
As far as the legs go, I can have a set made.
As far as updates go on the other Fisher President, finished in walnut, I have a set of tuners coming. I just need to locate the preamp and we have lift-off.
