Awesome! I was hoping an AK member would scoop that one up. Cosmetically it looks amazing. Most of these brass-faced units look pretty beat up but you got a beautiful one! Let me know if you have any questions, although Dave probably covered EVERYTHING in this thread. PS, The seller never got...

Planning on it. That is such a great resource.

Think she actually reported her s/n to Dave earlier and I have it in my list. I actually contacted the seller on eBay and asked if he could upload a scan of the Operating Manual since I haven't been able to find one before. He agreed! I'll post it when I have it!

2 new S/N's as found on eBay. 10669A & 10736A The second one is still listed and has a buy it now price of $1800. Has all of the paperwork including the Operating Manual which I've never seen! So far the known serial numbers are; 10141 A 10396 A 10669 A 10736 A 1127_ B 11575 C 11739 _ 12186 C...

Interesting. I didn't know the 500-S even existed. Neat little find Steve. When Dave tested my restored (Pre EFB) T/A 800, it was putting out around 20 WPC. Optimistic indeed. Glad you finally found one for your collection! I'm assuming the "S" is for stereo to distinguish it from the mono 500.

Great write up Dave. As always I understood about 30% of the terminology but that thing sure is a beauty. High praise from "the master". I'll bet with those stats, the Cornwalls are just trembling!

Check out Dave G's thread on restoring my unit. There's more in that thread than you ever dreamed was available on the TA-800. Also recommend McIntosh Cabinets as well. Built like a brick and gorgeous. They are a bit pricey but will outlast me! The website says they don't make a cab for the 800...

Dave P. Love to see some pics of the old girl if you have the chance. Not many of them on here.

Hey guys. Just wanted to say we just passed the 6 month mark and the old girl is still singing sweetly. Thanks again to this wonderful community and especially Dave! Rob

You are a good Grandfather Larry. These kids will associate quality music and stereo gear with you forever. What a great legacy! My wife and I don't have children, but I have six nieces and nephews. My brother has the stereo bug like I do and has a Marantz 4400 that was his father-in-laws. His...

Gonna need some pictures when you have time... :)

:lurk: What a beauty! Such a rare bird!

+1 for Jim McShane. Very nice guy. Honest and fast!

So sorry to hear this Larry. Continuing to pray for and think of you and your family.

I would love to make the jump into Fisher separates but boy those preamp prices are no joke! I wonder how much different the preamp sections in the Fisher receivers are in comparison?

What a great thread! I am very new to this audio obsession, but am proud of my receiver and how well it performs. My next leap will be into some separate gear. My Fisher doesn't have preamp outs, but I'd like to think that it's got a pretty darned good preamp section. As I've been looking at...

I saw those on ePay too. They even have one of the newer MPX-100 models described as NOS. The seller claimed to have taken it out of the original packaging (included in the sale) for the first time to post pictures. They are certainly going for a premium these days.

Agreed. He does the Fisher community proud. Very grateful I had the master work on my 800.

Beautiful! I would love to get into the separates as well but boy do you pay a premium especially for the Fisher preamps. Maybe one day but for those prices you could go McIntosh and even come out cheaper! I really like the looks of the old Fisher mono blocks and have heard they sound amazing...

+1 for Tidal HiFi. I'm having no issues with drops yet. I also have the higher quality Spotify. It is very handy and convenient for how large their catalog is, although I much prefer a physical format. There is something to be said for listening to Bach, then Bob Marley, then Boston without even...

Praying for you and your wife Larry. I know the Lords hands are on her. Please keep us updated.

It's amazing. I have many good friends and yet I am the only "Hi-Fi buff" in my group. I've always had a stereo prominently in my homes, however with my Klipsch/Fisher setup I get tons of comments from my guests. Several weeks ago I was playing The Allman Brothers: Live at Fillmore East on the...

Wow! Absolutely stunning console! As stated above, each component is just beautiful and a performer in their own right. What a special piece to own. Congrats and looking forward to more pics of the restoration as you have time.

Wanted to share my new purchase with you guys. Not exactly Hi-Fi but a fun little radio. I know they sold the heck out of these little radios when they were made. My parents had one in the kitchen growing up, as did my grandparents. I remember it having good sound for what it was. This little...
