    Fisher President VIII - Gutted

    Hi all! I'm here because I have no idea what I'm doing and want to learn more! I am a mid century addict and when I was in the ReStore yesterday, I happened upon an amazingly elegant stereo console. It had been gutted but thought it would make a fantastic tv stand. ReStore folks loaded it up...

    What Fisher Case Did I get accidentally?

    Hi Everyone, I hope folks can help me out with this. Recently I purchased a Scott 355 preamp/tuner and it came in a case that wasn't it's own. I posted a picture of this in the Scott facebook group and received a message from another user that his 355 had come in the exact same case, which he...

    Tube Recommendation for (4) 12AX7 for Fisher 500c

    I just got a Fisher 500c, sounds great, but has four Russian made 12AX7 tubes in it. I want to replace with USA or European made tubes. I'm not up on the various versions and wonder if anyone can recommend which replacement tubes to buy. Thank you

    Preamp ideas for a pair of Fisher 100 monoblocks

    After dabbling with my pair of 100 monoblock projects for months, I think I'm just about done and ready to put them to use, but alas, I don't have a proper preamp. Originally I had intended to use my Fisher 500c as a preamp, but very quickly realized the jacks on the chassis that I had taken for...

    Fisher TFM-300 Up and Running!

    Finally got my Fisher TFM-300 tuner restored and made it part of my stereo system! (I'm running it through my Realistic SAF-40D integrated tube amp). Sounds great, and I just love the way it lights up from the red stereo beacon light to the grid pattern the metal case projects onto the wall. I...

    Hi, I live just outside Philadelphia(less than 10 miles), and am looking for a good indoor antenna. My apartment is on the second floor of an old brick house, so a lot of stations aren't the strongest, even though they come through perfectly in the car. In particular, I tend to listen to 90.1...

I'm trying to sort out what I've bought, what's worth restoring/repairing/keeping and what is best turned into an art...

    A little help IDing this receiver?

    Hi, I just picked up this "SEARS AUDIO BY" Fisher receiver at a thrift for $10. The model number is 143.92541600, which I understand to be *Sears'* number. Does anybody recognize this visually? I'd like to know what non-branded Fisher model this corresponds to, if any. BTW, the quick FM test...

    Fisher x-101-st Project Amp

    I recently bought a Fisher x-101-st integrated amp as a project. It was pulled from a console, and totally working, but with modifications. The volume knob "off" switch had stopped working at some point, and the loudness switch was repurposed as the on/off switch. It seems the loudness circuit...

    1963 Fisher Ambassador V find

    Picked this up today at an estate sale. Brought it home, cleaned out the large dust bunnies running free in the back, used a little DeOxit, replaced a busted 12ax7, and brought it up on a variac. Unfortunately, the Italian Provincial isn't really to my taste. I'm sort of considering taking the...

    Can it be adjusted?

    I have a Fisher MT-6224 turntable that I love--except for one thing. I wanted to mount an Empire 2000E cartridge, with a brand new expensive LC stylus on it, and the 'cue' lever does not lift the tone arm high enough to clear the 'edge' of the LP, to start playing the album. The AT cartridge...

    Temperature of Fisher 800C power transformer

    My Fisher 800C power transformer measures about 129 degrees F which does seem pretty hot to me. This is not mounted in the wood cabinet. If you guys have time and a laser temperature probe, could you share your temperature readings. Voltages measure at the correct levels in my unit.
