In Wisconsin, Eric Lysne is doing great restoration Fisher and Scott tube audio work for me in the Madison, Wisconsin area. His e-mail is [email protected] .
unrestored Fisher 500-b receiver
I'm fairly new to the world of high end playback (outside of headphone listening), and I have a question about a Fisher 500-b tube receiver. someone local to me is offering to sell it, although it probably needs a lot of work:
"unit needs to have the power switch replaced (this is very common on old fishers) but by bypassing the power switch the unit does work (i.e. transformers work). unit has vintage tubes with it.
like all old tube equipment, it should be checked over by a tech before regular use. "
I am assuming that I'd have to buy new tubes for it as well. If I did buy it, I'd probably send it out to get it all cleaned up and fixed. but the question is, how much would you pay for something like this? even a ballpark figure would be great.
thanks for any help or advice.
