The CA-58 is a solid vintage deck, but at £94 it’s pricing above the local sweet spot. Against your reference market, that sits above the £75 75th percentile, so this reads as ambitious rather than fair.
What keeps it interesting is that Fisher cassette decks from this era can be very enjoyable when healthy: good tape handling, decent ergonomics, and the sort of straightforward, full-size hi-fi charm that still appeals. If it’s genuinely clean and fully working, the upside is mainly in condition and service history, because age-related issues in belts, idlers, and transport function matter a lot on decks like this. At £94, I’d want clear proof of playback, recording, and stable transport before calling it a buy.

Fisher is an American hi-fi name founded in 1945 in New York by Avery Fisher. In the vacuum-tube and early stereo era, The Fisher Radio Corporation built a strong reputation for carefully engineered, high-quality home audio gear and helped define what “hi-fi” meant to serious listeners in the 1950s and 1960s.
Historically, Fisher’s core products were amplifiers, receivers, tuners, and other home audio electronics rather than modern lifestyle categories like headphones, DACs, or cables. The brand was especially associated with tube amplifiers and stereo receivers, along with related components that brought higher-fidelity sound into mainstream living rooms.
Today, Fisher is best understood as a vintage-collector and heritage hi-fi brand rather than a current high-end market leader. Its classic equipment is respected among enthusiasts for its sound quality, build, and historical importance, while the brand itself has long since moved away from its original position as a premium American audio manufacturer.
