    NIB (new in box) Fisher 400cx-2 how does that happen?

    New in box, no sign of it ever being plugged in. How does that happen? Some extraordinary circumstances to buy a preamp in 1963 and never plug it in. It baffles the mind. While i sold a pristine 400cx-2 a while back which had rare use, i never thought i would find one in better shape. Let...

    Lets talk about Fisher ST Series Speakers.

    Are they any good, If you have one? How do you like them? What type of music will benefit from these? Is there a receiver/speaker combination that will work better? I have got a pair of ST-730 in decent condition with all original driver/radiator. Here are some picture and info about them.

    ELAC Miracord 10H Repair

    Ive got a question for those who have tinkered with their Miracord 10H's. I finally got mine up and running last night, and found that it works flawlessly; except that when the stacking spindle (the one for LP's & 78's, not 45's) is inserted. To start I'll put a couple (i tried with 3) of LP's...

    Any Fisher expert techs in the PNW?

    Hey guys, Not saying that I won't take up the challenge of going through my X-100-2 but before I post a detailed thread about my amp, I was wondering if there were any Fisher experts in the Seattle/Tacoma area? I'm relatively new to tube amps but learned a lot recapping, modifying and adjusting...

    Fisher Futura 201 driver board troubleshooting

    Hi, smart AK folk. Recently I have noticed a deep hum in the left channel of my beloved Fisher Futura 201 receiver. This hum does not change w/ the volume, it’s always constant, and present with all inputs (aux, phono, tape, etc.). I swapped the L&R driver boards, and what do you know, the hum...

    500b - Loud buzz in Tape Head & Phono IF inputs unplugged.

    Hi all, I just received a Fisher 500b. It's great, but I immediately noticed a very loud, constant buzzing hum if Tape Head is selected. I have no tape players of any description, so there is no connection and no signal going into the Tape Head inputs. Out of curiosity, I pulled out my Phono...

    Fisher x202b

    I have the opportunity to pick up a nice looking Fisher X202b that appears to have mostly original tubes for 5 Benjamin Franklins. I know the power supply has been worked on a bit and "it sounds great" but that's about it. Unfortunately I can't go see it in person or do any further testing. I...

    fisher 500c faceplate lettering

    I have a very nice 500c and I have noticed when looking at pics of others, there is more lettering above the phones jack. Mine doesnt have that. It just says Phones. Is it possible the missing lettering was rubbed off? Or is there a change somewhere along the production line? Thanks for any...

    Buzzing in left channel during Phono - getting worse?

    Hey folks, While playing records I have noticed more buzzing in the left channel than I remember. I use a Denon DP-35F into a Fisher 400 tube receiver. I have always heard some buzzing in the channels when there is no music playing, but lately I've been able to hear it more even while music is...

    Fisher KX-100 vs. Scott LK-48 + speaker recs

    Hi, i'm pretty new to hifi/audio in general. I sold 2 SL-1200s last year and have been thinking about what I want my new setup to be. I'm partial to vintage gear and I always loved the sound of my dad's tube amps growing up, so I'm leaning heavily towards starting with an integrated tube amp and...

    Fisher TA800 left channel problem

    OK I'm at a dead end here. I have finally completed the resto of my TA800 that I had started years ago with the help of Jim McShane but it got shelved when my first kid was born. Anyway fast forward ten years and it seems to have gone perfectly for the right channel which sounds utterly amazing...

    Fisher 500C Tuner Drum - seeking part!

    So, I just picked up a very nice condition Fisher 500C. Very good cosmetics, some work has been done on it, I'll know more when I get it on the bench. Hope to share some pics when that happens. However, it has arrived with a broken tuner drum. That is, not the heavy metal flywheel, but the...

    Fisher Coronet Modern

    Oh no, another console! The woodwork on this one is in pretty rough shape. Missing the legs and lots of watermarks. But the previous owner used it as their daily music source! Apparently the "balance" had to be mostly to one side to get it to sound good. The front view: The Chassis (100T I...

    Speaker Maintenance?

    I’ve got a pair of Fisher ST-830’s that are really quite decent speakers but need new midrange drivers and they vibrate like crazy when the bass gets deep or I turn the volume up. I posted this over in the “Fisher” forums but got no responses. Is padding or stuffing needed in the speakers, and...

    Fisher FM-100-B issues

    I've just picked up a Fisher FM-100-B tube tuner and it's a nice looking piece of equipment. I am pairing it with an X-100B integrated amplifier (and some Tekton Lore speakers). Cincinnati is lucky to have a good classical station, two stations which between them maybe equal ONE occasionally...

    Pleasant Surprise Marantz plus Bose

    I just pulled out a pair of Bose 401’s... yes I know and admit I have kept a set of Bose speakers since the 70’s. Anyway, I haven’t used these since 2013 or 2014. I hooked these to a Marantz MR 1170..... yes I know (dark years) but these two systems put a BIG smile on my face once I cranked them...
