This is a buyer’s market for vintage tuners, and £30 is a strong deal for a Fisher FM-100 if it is complete and working. Comparable examples appear around £35–£45 in the UK, while working examples elsewhere command considerably more, so this sits comfortably below typical asking levels.
The FM-100 is a handsome early-1960s tube FM tuner with a strong reputation for sensitive reception, a good-sounding valve audio stage, and classic Fisher build quality. At £30, even a little servicing can make sense, provided the unit is not missing tubes, knobs, or its multiplex components. Before collecting, confirm that it powers up, tunes stations cleanly, and produces audio without hum; also check the mains lead and underside for crude repairs. If those basics are sound, this is an excellent enthusiast’s buy rather than merely a cheap gamble.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
