I was lucky to have rescued this console from the roadside early last Saturday morning. VERY clean console, featuring a Fisher mono receiver chassis designation J-10 S/N 78651.
Can anyone ID the 15 inch driver? Its stamped JS 547 113-C5979 and has a 20 UF cap in parallel with the leads. Maybe a Jensen?
The phonograph is a Webster model 140-61.
From what I'm told so far this was a rather expensive special order console.

From what I see in the pic, that 15-inch driver is a Jensen.

How about a picture of the front of the console?

I'm extremely impressed with the build quality of the cabinet and the relative condition of it. About 2 hrs after I got it into the garage (from the curb up the street) a good thunder boomer came thru and dumped about 2 inches of rain in about one hour.

Very nice. It's similar to the one I have. You can read about it here (http://audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=47032&highlight=fisher+custom+electra).

I'll be taking the receiver out and will be bringing it to Urban Audio for a full restoration. He's about twenty minutes from me. I'll post back when it has been moved into the basement and is fully functional.

Mine still works, or at least it did the last time I plugged it in. The cabinet is amazing and extremely well made. Mine is from 1955 and I have the original paperwork and delivery receipt for it. Good luck with the restoration.

The two leads going into the speaker on the back of the magnet go to a tweeter perhaps?

I'm going to remove the driver for a peek at the front and will confirm.
I also just notice the date stamp of the unit, 3/56
