Tried as I may, couldn't turn it into a 500c lol. My dad had one in the 60's, I remember it fondly. I'm sure Sandy Nelson never sounded so good..........be that as it may I picked up a Fisher 203 along with a period matching TT today...... a Fisher/BSR PC 5 in great condition.. not the least bit impressed with that (crappy sound ) but the Stereo was a find......I think. Fully functional and sounds good. Was listening to a Sony SRT-6040 for quite some time but it has a low volume tape section with my Denon 700A. The phono sounds pretty good though, especially with decent TT.......in my case a Pioneer PL115D. Interesting to switch to the Fisher with about twice as many watts. A real improvement in both the phono section and the tape definitely better. The Sony might be a little warmer.......I just love all these little receivers though. True, not lowd but warm for sure. A real emotional experience if you care to listen. This is actually my first Fisher and I'm happy to find it. When I really got into audio in the early 80's Fisher was total junk and I wondered why my dad would have bought one given the fact he had big ass Wharfdales and later Ess Heils (he still has those). Of course now I get it. Yeah, that's why Pink Floyd sounded so good. Then there is always the feeling of being connected.................screw the ipod, screw the cd with it's unreadable liner notes................
