Hello all, My name is rick and I'm new here to the forums. I have visited several times because of your fisher section. I am in LOVE with my fisher rs2010!! My dad bought this receiver about 15 to 20 years ago and had it in his house for many years. One day he decided to store it away and use another fisher that he also has. I finally grew a set and asked him if he would give me the rs2010 and he agreed!!! So, now the fisher is mine!!
Here is my problem though. I use the receiver to run my studio speakers in my garage where I practice my DJ skills on a daily basis. It has worked without fail for about 5 years and is so powerful I was thinking of getting bigger studio speakers to match the power of the fisher. A few weeks ago I turned on the unit and it smoked out of the top. Scarred as hell i shut it off and unplugged EVERYTHING!!! Nothing else in my system was damaged except for the fisher. I have gone to 2 local tv and radio repair shops and both have told me to let it go. It was not worth fixing. Maybe to them it's not, but to me it means the world!! My pops gave me this receiver and it has too much sentimental value to let it die.
I uncovered the unit myself and saw where the burnt piece was. But, I'm a car mechanic, not a stereo expert!! So this all looks like alien like to me!! I am good with replacing stuff and want to repair the unit myself if I can find the parts and get some help from some of the experts here. So, is there anyone here willing to help a young guy out and try to help me fix this unit? I hate seeing it in the garage sitting there. I feel like it's saying to me "help me" Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated!! I can post pics of anything you need to help figure out the problem.
Thanks in advance!!!
