With your purchase of a FISHER instrument you have com-
pleted a chain of events that began many months ago, in
our research laboratories. For it ie there that the basic
concept of the equipment you have just acquired came
into being-its appearance, its tunctione, its quality of
performance, its convenience of use.

But the end step-your purchase-is merely a beginning.
A door has now opened, for you and your family, on vir-
tually unlimited years of musical enjoyment. Recognizing
that one of the keys to pleasurable ownership is reliability,
we have designed this instrumentto give long and trouble-
tree service. In fact. instruments we made over twenty-
seven years ago are still in use today.

Remember always that we want this equipment to give you
the best performance of which it is capable. Should you
at any time need our assistance toward that objective,
please write me personally.

Many hours have been spent by our engineers and tech-
nical writers to create this instruction book for your guid-
ance and enjoyment. if you want the molt out of your
FISHER, there is only one way to obtain it. With the equip-
ment before you, please read this booklet carefully. it
