Fisher VCRs in that era were made by Sanyo, and they were very unreliable. Maybe that TV set was also made by Sanyo.

Looks like it sold anyways. Fisher TV's were built by
Sanyo but they were not a relabel. They had totally
different guts. Quite popular at the time. The bad
news is a few critical parts are NLA & not subable.
There were 2 modules in the power supply that are
unrepairable & they went often. The TV's ran nice
but the big thing was the name, it looked hi-tech
and they did have an excelent jack pack at the time.

BTW there is no relation to "The Fisher" of high
quality audio fame. IIRC the rights to Fisher name etc
came down through dealings with Warwick, Sears etc.

Several years ago, someone gave me a similar LXI (Sears house brand) TV that was made by Sanyo and for the late '80's, it was a higher end 20" TV (stereo sound, impressive jack pack, etc). The TV worked; but, the CRT was on it's way out (this one used a Rauland/Zenith tube). It was watchable; but, during bright scenes, the greyscale would change and there would be a blurry band through the brightest part of the picture. I ended up selling it cheap to someone who wanted a low cost junker TV. I think that set would have had an amazing picture with a good tube; but, personally, this is not the type of set that I'd pay big money for or risk shipping it.
