Rs-1080 completely functioning i herited

Hey guys,

I inherited a fisher studio standard rs-1080 reciever. My father had it since before i was born and took great care of it.

He recently took it to nebraska or oklahoma (i think nebraska) to have it rebuilt.

I have a bunch of questions.

1. Anyone recommend a set of speakers that can handle that maximum output per channel?

2. Does this thing have any monetary value?

3 the only thing i see it needs is only a few touchups on the wood. Is this worth touching up?

4. Does anyone happen to know a well respected person in Nebraska that met my father to rebuild it? Hes a larger man that picked the thing up under one arm. Kudos to him.


Thank you for the feedback.

It's a "monster" receiver, 170 watts per channel.
Worth $300-$400 just guessing.
Worth touching up the wood for sure.
No help on the tech who picked it up.
 
I agree with goodolpg, though the value might be a little more for a refurbished unit. There's one for $435 on Audio Mart and another with a $650 asking price on eBay. A little googlin' might find other examples. There are also a few threads on AK about the Fisher RS-1080. Looks like a beauty and a keeper.

And welcome to AK.

I think you are correct, I was thinking about raising the high end a bit because of condition but not sure what the rebuild entailed. That could easily raise it's value beyond what I speculated.
 
Thank you guys no intentions of selling as this thing is damn near mint. What speakers do you guys recommend? Im tech savy but no time to build my own
 
At 170 wpc I would think that you have lots of speaker options based purely on power. More importantly, what kind of music do you listen to, how loud, room size, space for speakers, budget, etc.?
