Is A Fisher PH-420 Any Good??

[Ghettoboom767]

Hi,I just got myself a birthday present for next week.
A Fisher PH-420 for only 60.00.
Is this a good sounding Boombox? I know it's not the venerable
PH-460 or PH-480 but it's in nice condition and fully working.

I don't know much about these units except what I've heard about
the 2 big boys.
Let me know if I did ok and what to expect and what it might compare
to
Thanks.

i owned one of these.. solid little box.. same quality as it's bigger brothers in a compact size.. much easier to lug around.. definitely a quality box.. i actually owned the PH410.. pretty much the same but lacking seperate BASS/TREBLE controls and i believe the 420 has Dolby for the cassette.. good snag..

Thanks for that TMR,I appreciate the info,I have 2 Fishers but
are black Studio Standard newer early 90's boxes-those kick butt.

Just glad to get an older classic Fisher-this will be my first one.
Thinking that a 490 or 492 will be my only other one if I get another
Fisher.

PH-460 is one of my favourite stereo's - it has everything you could want!!
