Fisher Question.

Hope everyone had a great christmas. Is the current line of fisher detector's still in production,Other than the F4 or the T75 thanks.
 
I believe many of the current models are on the way out. If you're thinking about one, now is the time to act. I don't have any facts to back this up, but after seeing what has happened at Fisher over the last couple of years, I would be surprised if there are any offerings of current models in the near future. There are still some lifetime warranty units available from some dealers/distributors, but the supply is drying up fast. First Texas says they will honor those. I hope they remain true to their word.

Just an opinion, and you know about those. :D

Good hunting,
Otto...

Fisher hasn't said anything to the contrary but they are in a transition period so it is possible that some current models may be dropped in the near future (my opinion).

It would depend on sales figures of specific models vs. manufacturing costs I suppose.

If I were running the business, I wouldnt change a thing for now.
All the marketing and demographic studies I undertook in pursuit of a degree says that each company and product line feeds different segments of the market, and that each should be developed and improved... not cut and chopped.

I'd let Fisher stand alone as a company, and support, expand and market them, with all the clout that 1st Texas can muster.
I'd let the BH line go its way, too, continuing the sales they have in their rather large market niche.

Over time, Id begin melding the two, in ways that the MARKET responds with. The customer is the source of your sales and feedback, and meeting their demands is what spells success.

NOT taking a few units that you have developed elsewhere and forcefeeding them in new color schemes down your buyers throat. Worse yet, is touting them as the latest, greatest innovation from an industry leader.

Most detectors available today meet my simple needs, and the overdone hype and endless wrangling over niggling details leaves me non-plussed, as a rule. I'm certain the "new Fishers" will be no different. Instead, it often comes down to the manufacturer/company itself for me. So far, Im not impressed with the new direction Neo-Fisher is poised to take.

Since no single monkey stops the circus, I doubt that any opinions I have will sway the course. However, on my own small personal level, Im insulted by such tactics as FT/BH is plying on us and am snatching up a few basic "real" Fishers while I can. Then Im going shopping elsewhere.
