Well, I'm lucky enough to have a nice Fisher TA-800 and 500-C that I use quite often. The X202B will be my main Fisher system when I get it finished, which will include a cabinet and R200 tuner.

I hope to do a shootout between my Fisher lineup at some point to see which model sounds the best to my ears. So far I have had them all hooked to different speakers, so it's hard to tell for sure. Seems like the 500-C is lacking the crisp detailed highs, but still sounds very good. The Cornwalls are to die for hooked to the TA-800, should be fun running all the Fishers through all the Klipsch models I have. I almost forgot I have the TA-600 too, poor thing has been neglected since I received the 800.

Well, I'm 50% British if that helps any, my mom was a war bride from London.
Wish there were more AK people near me to get together and help enjoy the gear. I have some ADS 1590's that will work too.

I don't know, after listening to some sweet sounding jazz through some Fisher tubes, I feel sleeping won't be a problem.
R-200 showed up, not as pristeen as the X202B but still nice condition. Looks like it has had a few tubes changed out over its lifetime. I will hook it up and give it a slow startup after work today, but wanted to share some pictures. I'm glad these two units get to stay together.
I will need to find two of the plastic clamps that mount the AM antenna, and the amber jewel is missing also. Interesting that almost all the pictures I find of the R-200 have the jewels in different orders, mine is green, red amber, from left to right.

Ok great, I notice on my Fishers, the red is always in the middle. I have searched all over the web for pictures, none are exactly the same in the pictures.
Thanks! getting good use out of the lazer gun keeping an eye on the temps.

ALOHA!
I'd missed this thread the first time around.
Wow, glad I caught it this time.
That's a once in a lifetime score, Steve. Glad you are finally sending it out for a checkup and maintenance.
