Nice console system in Elmhurst IL

That's just drool-worthy.
It was still there at 11AM Saturday, asking price was $495 and firm. It looked very nice and was playing FM in stereo. Turntable was gone, but it did include an NAD tape deck and a Yamaha cd changer. I really wasn't interested, just curious. I have no room for that huge console.

Wow...now that is nice ! hope someone here lands it,
Did you get models on the amp and tuner? $500 really isn't bad if that's some nice Fisher stuff as the right amp and tuner could bring that alone.
Add in the pretty cab, the speaker drivers and the other two pieces and it's a pretty good deal for a collector.

That could be a 400CX preamp...

It's worth several times that $495 on it's own...

Yikes! Just saw this. I've been out most of yesterday and today. I'll see if it's still there.
Was that a factory set up, or something that was put together in the aftermarket. Most of the old console's I remember had the electronic's through top access lid's. Funny market these day's on console's. One forum member had an old 60's Magnavox he was wanting to scrap out for the amp, and another guy in europe was willing to give him good money, and pay to have it shipped over. Hope it survived.
What a crying shame this wasn't posted in the Fisher forum. I would have seen it right away.

i seen that after my first post, cannot begin to tell you how hard i have been searching for one of those. this is the first listing i have seen since my search begin 2 years ago, what a unit
It's interesting how they re-used design cues. The tambour doors look like a direct copy from the 58/59 Contemporary models.
AWWWWWWWW, Enjoy yer Executive(s).
Guess that throws TheRED1's theory about all the High End Stuff coming out of the DC Area. DAMN! And it's already been pre-butchered. Hate it when people take out the original stuff and don't keep it handy. If I remove or replace a turntable in a console, it at least gets plastic bagged and inserted inside with a note on the control panel.
