    Fisher SA-1000 service recommendations?

    Good morning! I just picked up an SA-1000 and a 400-CX-2 at the Schulman auction that was online recently. [Yes, I was that bonehead that overbid]. Anyway, both units are in good physical shape but obviously sat for years in a pretty sizable Fisher collection. I’m assuming an old fellow passed...

    Fisher 800C Restoration Thread

    Met an older gentleman who was about to toss out some old hi-fi gear. Sat and chatted with him for a while and he had some incredible stories. Long story short he insisted zero payment for any of the gear, so amongst other things I received a what appears to be pretty mint Fisher 800C. So...

    Fisher 500-S multiple output options.

    Just got a nice 500-s unit and it sounds AMAZING with my 8ohm Burnhoe Acoustics. Ideally, I'd also like the option to send the signal to my studio board to listen through cans/record/stream. I am able to do that right now with a rca switch out the record out, but when I do it cuts the main...

    Painting the cover of the equalizer Fisher EQ-870

    Friends, I got a free Fisher EQ-870 equalizer, cheap of course, but pure Japanese. The lid was rusty, everything was fine inside, but according to the schematic, there was nothing good inside anyway. So, on one side the paint was swollen, and there the rust did its job. Anyway, I washed it, it...

    Fisher RS-220 "Studio Standard" (Made in Japan)

    Hey all. Picked up this unit at an estate sale for $10. I can't find specs for it anywhere (for free, at least). Anyone have information on it? The tuner seems to perform well, and it's a rather handsome unit lit up. The made in Japan version seems a bit rare, with most being Korean manufacture...
