12" bass, covered-rear 8" mids and horn tweeters. The bass and mids are probably Jensens and the horn tweeter might be a Coral. (Now I know why Joe picked up the Executive - it was for the tweeters!) AK member mcsteam22's 1961 Fisher Statesman (the next model down from the Executive) had Coral tweeters but his were badly corroded. His was originally a coastal Florida console and had rock wool acoustic insulation. Here's the Executive VI catalog entry from the 1961 Fisher console catalog:What are the speaker sizes?
Hi guys - this thread was my inspiration last winter to recap my Fisher 480A and hunt for a Fisher console to put it in.
I'm making headway - I hope to have the amp and tuner installed into the middle compartment of the Ambassador console soon --
just out of curiosity I tried my 480a amp and tuner on a magnavox console - 10" woofers and horns -- it didn't sound very good --
it sounds much better on the the Ambassadors speakers -- and even better with a pair of external bookshelfs (Harmon Kardon HK-10s)
I Just bought a pair of Fishers tonight at the Salvation Army. One is a Philharmonic that they've had for quite some time........ I've watched the price come down. The second is a something Electra Model? III...... that they've had for over a week, by the date on the tag, but tonight was the first time I've seen it. I'll try and pick them up in the next couple of days. I like the looks of the Electra, but unfortunately both consoles are pretty beat up looking.
..........Looks like it's a 1960 Custom Electra Model III, in the modern design, but I don't recall the wood.
