    Fisher 500c

    The item in question is a circa 1965 Fisher 500c FM Stereo receiver. It had the “Fisher Doc” updates done by a competent technician in 2004 and has operated perfectly since then. It has an American black walnut veneer cabinet made by Mcintoshcabinets. How much do you think it is worth?

    Feeling Really Good

    I’ll be 74 in less than a month and have been blessed (cursed)with more gear than one sensible man needs. It’s time for me to start letting go. My sister and nephew came by today on their way back to Florida after having spent a week over on Strom Thurmond Reservoir (Clark’s Hill Lake). I sent...

    Cartridge to Headshell Coupling

    Is it better to have the cartridge firmly coupled to the headshell, or to have an isolating layer, like thin cork or balsa wood, between the cartridge and headshell? I have never tried isolating the cartridge. Just thinking.

    It’s Time

    It’s time, it’s November. What’s on your Christmas wish list? Mine? Speakers, JBL studio 590s, but they’re too costly, (and probably too big) so I won’t even ask. What about you?

    CT-F 750 Tech Needed

    I want to have a full restoration done on my CT-F750. It appears to be in very good condition. I replaced belts a couple of years ago. It works great— intermittently :eek: Problem is hardened rubber pinch roller. I might could remove this and send it to Terry, but at this point I’m ready...

    The State of Rock

    Ok, a little game. Name a rock song title in which one of the primary words is the name of a state. Examples: Sweet Home Alabama; Georgia Rhythm; Mainline Florida. I’ll stop there. There are still some obvious ones. Have fun. Bob

    The Perfect Thread

    OK. I had an idea. Most of y’all know the story of David Allen Coe and the perfect country song — it has to have pick-up trucks, mother and prison. So, what are the components (subjects) for the perfect thread?

    Auto-biasing?

    This is probably a very dumb question, but I’m going to ask anyway. Is there an auto-biasing modification for the 500c?

    Serial Number Puzzler

    I have a pair of Heresy II, oiled walnut, standard brown woven fabric grills, factory slanted risers and am unable to determine manufacturing date from the serial numbers. These have paper labels with consecutive serial numbers. The labels show a copyright date of 1985. The serial numbers...

    What’s Santa Bringing You This Year?

    Just two weeks away and no one started a thread, so what’s on your wishlist audiowise this year? I have it on pretty good authority that there’ll be a Rothwell Audio Headspace Head amp under my tree. What about y’all?

    ACUTEX 315 III STR - Soundsmith?

    Okay, I've plowed through the lengthy Piezo-Azden-Acutex thread and haven't found an answer. My question: Has anyone had Soundsmith install a replacement cantilever/stylus on an Acutex STR cartridge?

    Your Low Output Moving Coils

    I'd like to ask a few questions about your lomc cartridges. 1. What lomc are you currently using? 2. Do you plan to upgrade in the next year or so? If so, to what? 3. What preamp or step up transformer are you using? 4. Do you plan on upgrading it? If so, to what? Thanks for sharing.

    Pet Peeves of the Grammatical Type

    I contemplated starting this in the general audio section because I believe it has the largest readership, but figured a Mod would just move it. So, here we are. What is it about certain grammatical errors (choices?) that just "get under your skin?" I'm talking here about ones in written form...

    Spin-Clean is...

    For those of you who use or have used a Spin-Clean machine, do you think the effectiveness of its cleaning is better than, equal to, or poorer than hand washing? Is its main advantage the ease of cleaning or the quality of cleaning? Thanks, Bob

    I NEED A BETTER ALLOWANCE

    Just finished my first perusal of the Music Direct big book. I could spend some serious money -- mostly on music, but on some toys as well. It's sort of like this hobby's version of what the Sears toy catalog was when we were growing up. Anyone else feeling fiscally limited? Bob

    WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CARTRIDGE

    Title says it all. I couldn't find a thread with this simple question. So ... what is your favorite cartridge right now, and maybe why. For me Denon DL110, because I can't afford better right now. Bob

    Nikon USA Repair

    I'm wondering if any one here can share their experience using Nikon repair services. I have a Nikkor AF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-200G ED VR lens and the vibration reduction function has begun misbehaving. I need to have it repaired, but am curious about others experiences. Thanks, Bob
