    Fisher SA300 on ebay !!NOT ORIGINAL OPT'S!!

    It would have been smarter if the OP would have rewound those Fisher OPT's. Reminds me of something stupid I did back when I was 18 and still a genius...I had a '67 Olds 442 with a 12 bolt differential(heavy duty type). I blew the gears in it so went to the junkyard(do they still have those?)to...

    New Fisher 400 RIAA Network

    Well, needed something to do while waiting for a Mouser order to update my X-101-C, so I thought I'd make an honest effort to replace my current RIAA network in my 400 with one which has better quality components with tighter tolerances, and specs that are right on the money thanks to the...

    My Hobby Prior To Fisher FM Receivers...R/C Planes

    HA!! Flying off the workbench is what happens, but very slow. This hobby is even more tedious than building planes, hands down!! Mainly due to the fact that Fishers have tubes and very high voltages and I don't want to get ZAPPED if you know what I mean! Keeps me on my toes! Why don't you visit...

    My Hobby Prior To Fisher FM Receivers...R/C Planes

    You SHOULD get that Piper out and fly it! That's a really nice flying plane. It's not quarter scale, is it? Well, not with a 80 Saito on it...must be a bit smaller. You know, today's generation really gets me....everything has to be RIGHT NOW!! No patience, can't wait, if it doesn't work, throw...

    My Hobby Prior To Fisher FM Receivers...R/C Planes

    NOW I remember this plane!!! WOW, that is a beauty! I knew a couple of guys that had models of this. Much cooler looking than the Pitt's Special, in my opinion. Have you flown it? I'll bet your knees will shake when you do!! Mine would for sure....me with my dumb thumbs flying a primo model like...

    My Hobby Prior To Fisher FM Receivers...R/C Planes

    Uh...NOT! I've gone flying with a Sig "Astro Hog" that I built, had an OS 91 Surpass 4 stroke powering it, and it wasn't that old yet, and I thought I would be cute and try to do some really neat aerobatic stuff....well, I didn't have a lot of experience yet and when I attempted to recover from...

    My Hobby Prior To Fisher FM Receivers...R/C Planes

    Thanks guys, for the nice comments. The wife is gone but I kept the plane on my king sized bed! haha Sfox52, your Christen Eagle is a biplane, correct? if I remember, that's a really fine flying plane, and is known for being highly aerobatic. Those were very popular back in the 90's. The Pitt's...

    New RCA's for 1000A

    Very NICE job, Larry! I want to have a 1000A someday just to try something different, and also because I already know it's a good receiver because you've invested a lot of your time and efforts into yours...must be good, right? John

    Fisher 400 owners PLEASE READ....IMPORTANT!!!!

    Thank you, Larry for those numbers and dates for my OPT's. I'm going to save that info because it's good to know for my own personal reference. Maybe the "AM" means the morning shift, and you know how those day shifters are, right?....all hung over and seeing double. Can you imagine having to...

    My Hobby Prior To Fisher FM Receivers...R/C Planes

    Thank you for your nice comment. I started out with a trainer and worked my way up gradually to a low wing aerobatic style. My absolute favorite plane was my Super Chipmunk from Carl Goldberg Models, which are now defunct I think. Had a 63" wingspan and I installed functional flaps on it for...

    My Hobby Prior To Fisher FM Receivers...R/C Planes

    Hi All, Just wanted to post a few pics of my Extra 230(72" wingspan) that I built back around 1993. I flew it only once(I had my friend, who was a whiz kid, stand by in case I froze up or flipped out) and it had my knees shaking because this is in my opinion my very best work to date...and most...

    Fisher 400 owners PLEASE READ....IMPORTANT!!!!

    Bruce, I know exactly what you mean, as I had to make a few moves to unhook and slide out one of my 400's in order to get the requested OPT numbers and unit serial #. Mine isn't in a cabinet, so that wasn't an issue. John

    Dave G, thank you SO MUCH for posting the procedure for testing the primary impedance of our OPT's! Being somewhat electronically challenged, I didn't know how to do this, and I'm very happy to learn something new to slide under my belt for future reference...hmmph, electronic stuff is about the...

    Improving the Fisher X-101C

    Joe, thank you for your efforts drawing up Dave's modifications, and also for all of your very helpful tips and photos of the speaker switch and the small circuit board markup. I've recently gotten ahold of my very own X-101-C, so I referred to this thread....better late than never. I have to...
