    Speaker wire block 1980 Fisher CA-880

    Hi. I have an old Fisher standard studio component system that still works great. We moved recently and between disconnecting speaker wires at the old place and movement during moving, most of the spring loaded wire clips broke. Where's the best place to find a new (or used) wire block for...

    Fisher 505-T MPX Stereo Seperation Issues

    This is the problem Description The FISHER 505T receiver was thoroughly renovated. The FM tuner and Multiflex tuner were tuned to what looked like proper tuning ... The diagnosis was that the FM separation between the two channels was very low. Compared to other receivers, it turned out that...

    Fisher MT-6225 TT

    Scored this a while ago and am just trying to get it sounding good. The anti skate adjusting knob seems dead. It's just snapping back when I turn it. I'd love some insight, or a magic bullet, before I start opening it up... -Thanks, TJ

    TA-800 back from the shop...

    I wanted to document the service as well as see if those who know more than I (everyone) can give these pics a once over for feedback. I recently got my 800 serviced from a tech my dad uses in Charlotte. I only know that he has brought multiple Fishers back from the dead my dad has collected. He...

    Looking for value input on Fisher Statesman 202t preamp/tuner

    I have a chance to pick up a nice, clean Fisher Statesman 202t preamp/tuner unit. It is a console pull and has no case or feet. It does not have the stereo multiplex unit, and is missing an ECC81 tube. It does come with a multiplex unit out of a 500c parts unit that may or may not work. Majority...

    Fisher 102 Speaker Cabinets - Resto Mod or Don't Bother

    I have a pair of Fisher 102 speakers. They're old 3-ways with 12' woofers. I know the woofers were replaced about 25 years ago instead of re-coning the originals. I do like the look of the cabinets. If I were to replace the guts with modern components, what would you all recommend? Is it...

    Fisher 390 Right Channel Distortion - Ideas please!

    Hey all, I need some help tracking down this gremlin. For about 15 years, my Fisher 390 has had a problem with the right channel. It jumps up in volume with a really static sound, at random, and will often times go back and forth for a while. This usually happens more frequently when I first...

    Fisher Radio Corp. Sign / Silkscreen

    Hello. I purchased this silkscreened (on masonite) piece of art at a Denver estate sale. It measures about 5' x 3' and is marked "Fisher Radio" on the back. Maybe it was used for a sales meeting / convention? What do you all think?

    Fisher Philharmonic P-22 value

    There's a Fisher p-22 console pull listed near me that looks to be in excellent cosmetic condition. The guy selling it knows enough not to have powered it up without a variac, so it should be a good candidate for restore I think. No output tubes, which is a shame, but looks like small tubes are...

    They do look the same. Other than that any other difference between them. Even tube complements are same. TIA

    Making a case for my 500c

    I don't have to tell you Fisher guys how good my 500c sounds. But it came to me with chassis looking pretty rough and no case. I'm still not very good with electronics, but my first love has always been woodworking. I have been working on a case for this receiver for a few months now. But when...
