Wow, it looks like you've got every single document that Fisher produced in 1960! What version of the 1960 catalog is that? There's a code on the lower left side of the back cover. I have two versions of the 1960 catalog: an early (289-A30M-99) and a late (516F 30M-119). Some years Fisher had as many as 4 different versions of their console catalog - often with substantial changes to the model line-up and the various features offered. It would be very interesting if you had a new version of the '60 catalog.
Frannie, I would have thought the legs on the consolettes would be the same as the one on the CE III. However, as you can see in this photo of my Sister-in-law's CE III leg (which I'm pretty sure is original), it is squared off and it has a more elaborate cap than the consolette legs. It also appears slightly longer than the consolette legs. Next time I'm over at her house I'll try to remember to take some measurements. (She'll really wonder about that.)
Any tapered legs with brass caps of approximately the correct length and stained to match would look just fine, though. It's interesting that it just wasn't quite provincial enough for somebody. You don't think there's any possibility that it came from the factory like that, do you?

Hiya,
Yah I figured they must be different even if slightly.
I can give em to Rob to use until some set comes up as I think they look better than whatever that is on his. Although that would be unlikely I guess unless its a trashed Electra III.
