X202B time capsule

dcgillespie said:
JHS -- The front panel lamp array signifies channel operation as designated by the Stereo/Mono mode selector switch. A and B stand for channel A and B inputs, while L and R stand for Left and Right outputs. The center red (C) lamp is normally dim to act as a power indicator, and goes bright when the powered center channel speaker output is activate to any of its selectable level settings other than "off".

40 watts is a Music Power rating which Fisher used extensively when that rating mode came into vogue. Today, with healthy tubes, real world RMS power output is about 35-36 watts RMS maximum from each channel when driven individually, and about 30 watts RMS with both channels driven. With multiple output tap output transformers employed, this rating is maintained whether the output impedance is 4, 8, or 16 ohms, as long as the load is connected to the proper output taps.

I hope this helps!

Thanks Dave and RS Steve
 
Tested out the phono section with my SL-1200 last night, sounded a little dull to me at first but after about 15 or 20 minutes seemed to settle into a nice warm sound. Looks like the 25 years of storage didn't do any harm.

Try swapping out the phono tubes with the expensive Brimar CV4004 or Westinghouse 12AX7 you own. If still less than what you want, change the .01uF to a Vit Q (200 volt rated is ok) and the .022uF to a K40Y-9.

Good by dullness.
 
Congrats on a beautiful Fisher! It's a gem!:yes: I remember purchasing my Fisher 400 and feeling so fortunate everything checked out with flying colors. You must be feeling good!:yes:

Thanks! Yeah, I almost hate to use it. Everything on it is like new condition, I doubt it had many hours of use at all. I'm tempted to put it back in its box and donate it to a museum. :nono: :music:
 
I operate a Fisher museum here at my home. I'd be happy to give you my shipping address to help you out.......

Reverse psychology sometimes works, I wouldn't have your X202B even if you gave it to me.... and would never Pm you my mailing address either...so there! :D
 
Well, back in the box it went. Once I get the tuner here, and cabinets for both the amp and tuner, these Fishers will be my tube showcase system.

So far the Cornwalls sound the best with the X202B, the Chorus's are a close second.

I feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that my purchase of your X 101 C helped make this possible, hahaha. Nice score!

I miss the X101-C though, It matched up very well with my Frazier Concerto speakers. I didn't notice much drop in volume using the phono section with my turntable. Hope you get it figured out.

Yeah, I can't figure it out, the CD sounds great but click over to Phono and it is a big volume drop...like 9:00 on the volume for CD and 12:00 on the phono are about the same. :scratch2:
