Crawling back to my Fisher roots.

Helllo everyone, my first tube amp was my Fisher KX100 that I purchased off a member here in Barter Town and a number of members here in this Fisher forum helped me with getting it recapped. I still have that unit, though I haven't used it in a number of years I still relish owning it. I have continued to buy a number of amps and preamps from other makers and some Fishers as well but I have yet to go thru the other Fishers that I have picked up. I think that is about to change as I want to restore a number of them in the up coming months. Of those are two X202b's, a 400 receiver, and a pair of 200A's which will be arriving this week.

I hope I won't be to much of a burden and while here who knows I might be able to help someone although I do have limits. :)

Fisher sure made a crazy number of different models and types of gear.

(About that Fisher KX100 that hasn't been used in a number of years. I thought it was recommended practice to power up working tube gear every six months or so to keep the electrolytics formed?)
 
I have been under the hood of a few Fishers. The ones in bold are still around, X-101B KX90 FM100 FM200 FM200C Allegro A-19 Console ... 500C tube and IIRC TX100 500T solid state that all were recapped, freshened up servicing preformed.
Guess I must like them some.......

Fun times ahead just in time for a winter project for you.

Actually being my first go around I didn't change out the electrolytics, and the amp worked great and sounded wonderful, but as I have learned those were important and not to long ago I ordered all new can caps from Hayseed so I should add that to the list. Plus I need to add the efb that will make it a better unit as well.
