That was a helluva nice amp. :yes: Nice toobs, I see "Made in Great Britain" on those EL-34s. You shoulda kept that one, then you could get addicted to it, like I have with a Kenwood 9100. Maybe throw some pics of that 300 in this thread -http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=241228.
Very nice!
I posted pictures of my beat up SA-300 here.
I sure hope it sounds great as it's nothing to look at (anymore).

I feel like my X-1000 integrated is a descendant of that SA-300 amp.
6CA7/EL34 outputs, huge iron (laid on its side comparatively) and outstanding sonics.
Does that have a or a pair of 12AU7s aside from the AX7s?
SS rectifiers in the X-1000 though. It's a '61 model.

Why'd they use two 5AR4s? I can see that for higher-powered stuff (the Scott LK-150 with 6550 outputs comes to mind), but one would seem sufficient for an EL34 amp.
AK member modegard has the most beautiful Fisher SA-300 I've ever seen. Like it was built yesterday...

Just happy to have one :yes:

You have a Fisher amp that's actually uglier than my 70-AZ. Impressive!
That's how I'd feel about it, too.
I kinda dig the sawtoothed OPTs. Gives it a geological look.
Rex: YOU'VE GOT to name that "UGLY BETTY"!!! (Make some Nose Art, even)
I about blew my dinner across the monitor when I saw modegards and your's together!

How in the world did it manage to lose the strain relief on the power cord???
ACE Hardware has those in the electrical section, BTW.

Great comments and thoughts guys! The more I look at it the more I kinda dig the "Ugly"! Maybe I'll just leave it like this as a "conversation piece"
Nate, I just got this amp along with the FM-200B and the 400CX2 last Sunday. I was told the damage happened in shipping and that it all worked before said shipping.
You can see it all here

So, :scratch2: , what do you all think, leave it "as is" and get it singing or try to get it some what "right" looking?

How bout "Fish Out of Water".
I thought about selling mine for a second once, needed to pay bills and drink beer. I listened to music and drank beer.

That challenged SA-300 reminded me of this Scott LK-150 ad:
I am selling a very rare vintage classic power amplifier from Scott H.H. , the LK-150. I have this almost 20 years. It was in excellent condition until it was damaged by my father's bullet. What's a pity!! The unit is working fine and comes with either chinese or Russia made output tubes.
