WITH your purchase of a FISHER instrument you have completed a chain

of events that began many months ago, in our research laboratories. For
it is there that the basic concept of the equipment you have acquired came into
being-its appearance, its functions, its quality of performance.

But the end step-your purchase~is merely a beginning. For you and your
family, it will provide years of musical pleasure. The FISHER is from its
inception designed to give long and trouble-free service. Some of the instru-
ments we made twenty-three years ago are still in use today!

It is our continuing desire that your FISHER give you always the best per-
formance of which it is capable. If you need our assistance at any time toward
that objective, please keep in mind that we are always at your service.

IN CLOSING -

Many hours have been spent by our engineers and technical writers to create
this instruction book for your guidance and enjoyment. If you want the most
out of your FISHER, there is only one way to obtain it. With the equipment
before you; please read this booklet carefully. It will be time well-spent.
