We might be able to help a lot more if you posted some good clear photos of this model.  Personally I am not familiar with it.  Include battery area that is missing cover.   Someone might have the sister ( Sanyo and Fisher often shared models with different graphics)  in a Sanyo model that would help you have another avenue to search for a battery cover.  Also try www.partstore.com

Thanks AO for that pic and finding the correct sister model by Sanyo.  What a neat little unit.  Would love to have one.  Is that yours AO , curious how good is the sound of the micro cassette Walkman and speakers on mini box?

 

Here I found some good photos of the Fisher PH-M88

Hi John, the Sanyo is mine, yes.  The micro unit is nothing special but it is stereo, which is rare enough.  The nicest part is the headphones which are about the best units I've seen (or heard) from Sanyo.  More quirky than practical but as a Sanyo curio it doesn't get any better than the M-66.

Thanks Cris, good to know.  Some of those older headphones could be pretty impressive actually.  Just hard to know which ones these days.  Have to add that to my wish list ;-)

By the end of 60's audio market began to focus on the mass market and as a result the demand for expensive high-quality products have decreased significantly.
-Aivor  Fisher, after a little hesitation, sold the trademark to Emerson for ten million dollars, and than in the 70's trade mark  Fisher went  to Japanese company Sanyo.
Sanyo is the  version of Fisher not other way around...

Hate to have to correct you but all Fisher walkmans and Boomboxes (probably other hifi) were made by Sanyo under the Fisher brand.  Feel free to find evidence to the contrary but this is what I know to be correct.

HI John
I will b able to send you some photo in a couple of days, when I get back home...

Sanyo has bought Fisher brand, for their well known name, to increase sales of the Sanyo's products on the US market.

sorry to say, but as Agent O stated above - Fisher portable electronics were made by Sanyo.

I had a Fisher PH-M88 back in the day.  One day, the microcassette player quit working. It would run for about 3 seconds (with sound) and then shut off.  I sent it to Fisher for repair under warranty.  A while later, they informed me that they had lost it and sent me a check.

 

Well I found another (like new) one on Ebay and it has the exact same problem. I believe the player is not sensing tape movement and then shutting off.  Does anyone know where I could have this repaired?  Who ever does the repair needs to be expert at working on small stuff.  I can imagine working on the tape player would be like working on an analog watch.
