  • Notes
  • The Fisher Custom Electra V consoles were manufactured in 1962. This console was sold in at least 3 different looks: Provincial, Early American and Modern. They have designations like E-46X-P for Provincial Fruitwood, E-46X-PM for Provincial Mahagony. E-46X-EA for Early American Maple, E46X-M for Modern Mahagoni, E-46X-W for Modern Walnut and E-46X-T for Modern Teak. They were also available without the multiplexer (MPX-70) - the designation then has no X. We introduce three model pages - not caring for the X or the color.

    They contain 2 chassis: 460T tuner, 460A amplifier. The MPX-70 multiplex adapter unit with 3 tubes 12AX7 or ECC83 was available as an option. The tuner has 11 tubes and the amplifier 6 tubes. The MPX-70 Stereo Unit has 3 tubes. Original cost was $595.00 for Modern and $ 645 for Provincial and Early American. Without the MPX-70 the cost was $545.00. Fisher made also MPX10, MPX20 and MPX100.

    The brand name Electra name was used for many years. Avery Fisher used it nearly from the start when he was selling them under the Philharmonic name in 1940. The first two models were the Linear Standard and the Electra, both had TRF tuners, at first made for the Manhattan market. This model here is one of the first stereo console units from Fisher.
