Thank you for your responses...it helps. I think I'm opting for the 500C based on the larger transformers and a few reviews I've seen since posting this question.
Vintage Fisher, What's best 500C/B or 800B?
I have the opportunity to purchase cosmetically mint units of the above at an estate sale. Each of these receivers work, yet must be upgraded and restored sonically. I know about the resto-paks, etc.; but which unit is best? And what individual or company would you recommend for complete restore. I missed out on a seemingly nice 500C unit on the A-gon recently...but just fell into the above estate sale. I am a bottlehead, but haven't really heard any of these since I was a child. I'd like to take a shot at one or two of them.
