It is time: The Fisher TA-600
#1

After procrastinating for two (or has it been three?) years...I decided that it is time to do something with my prized 1959 The Fisher TA-600 stereo receiver.

History

The Fisher TA-600 (TA stands for tuner - amplifier) came out in early 1959, and was Fisher's first integrated tuner and stereo amplifier all in one (heavy) package. Built before an FM Stereo standard had been finalized, it not only has a jack for an FM multiplex adapter, it was also built to accommodate the combination AM - FM stereo broadcasts which were available in some markets. This consisted of a radio station broadcasting one stereo channel on its AM transmitter, and the other channel on its FM transmitter. The TA-600 could be set to receive both, and AM and FM tuning are independent of one other for this reason.

In other words, without a multiplex adapter, FM will be received in mono. But this receiver does have a true stereo amplifier.

It uses 22 tubes and is rated at 20 watts per channel.
