Here's the rest.

I've always wondered why they built the vented area up higher than the
wood case. The only reason I can imagine is to make the grill more sturdy
and less likely to bend.





I've never seen one of those with that taller screen. Perhaps it's an
aftermarket one?


"For the guys who have the largest of Fishers integrated amps and tuner, a
cabinet is avaialble, the one shown has a larger screen opening to have
the transformer and the after market tall tubes fit with no problem.
Normally made in a high grade walnut veneer, it can be ordered with your
choice of veneers, front wood trim and screen size: normal for standard
NOS tubes, large for tall after market tubes."

Note the one pictured actually has the normal screen, not the raised one
that the description talks of.

Naw, you'd have to see it up close to realize that it's the real McCoy.
The grill's been with the tuner as long as I've owned it, which is over 25
years,
and the guy that owned it lived up in the Far North (really), and bought it
all mail-order Back In The Day from some big New York Fisher dealer.

As to Brian's comment, believe it or not, I have never plugged it in, ever.
Not once. I suppose I could, but IIRC there is some selenium device in
there, and with my luck it would go "poof" before my eyes.

No, I leave that for the next buyer. It goes "on the block" very soon.



Again I've never seen an FM-1000 with a raised screen like yours. Even the service
manual shows the standard recessed screen.
