The Fisher price is beyond my pocketbook, but I love the style of it.
Reminiscent of Motorola's Drexel modern.
The Zenith is no slouch either, in style.
I really like the Zenith control panel on these.

Re: Fisher Ambassador Console and Zenith Console
Mogul that's one of FIsher's more BOL efforts, a '62 or '63 Ambassador IV or V. Decent unit, usually separate 6BQ5 PP amp and lots of Tele 12AX7s in the separate tuner/preamp w/ MPX. Too much for what it is, but a popular style for furniture nowadays. Usually EA or FP styles go cheaper.
That Zenith has lousy stereo unless it has a missing outboard speaker, no point in even calling that a stereo really.

Re: Fisher Ambassador Console and Zenith Console
It might be a BOL style, but that cabinet is more cleanly styled than is typical for Fisher. Many of their cabinets look more like a dresser than a stereo. A particularly obnoxious style was featured on the home page of Vintage, if you recall. That cabinet was hideous.

Re: Fisher Ambassador Console and Zenith Console
Fisher almost alway had a nice MCM version of each model, as they always had 5 to 6 designs for every model, every year.
In the past we had very nice MCM versions of 1960-'62 President and Executive.
