Fisher 500-B – Gold Restoration [SOLD]

Platinum Level restored FISHER 500-B Receiver  

A beautiful vintage Fisher receiver in its original wood cabinet. The original owner’s manual, service manual and warranty documentation is also included.

The receiver section has been fully aligned and brought back to the original factory specifications. The phono section has also been completely refurbished, with a matched pair of ‘primo’ (selected for low noise & microphonics) vintage Telefunken 17mm smooth plate 12AX7’s installed.  The tone control / audio line amp section has a matched pair of vintage tall ribbed plate Blackburn Mallards, and the inverter/driver is a perfectly matched pair on new Mallards. The output is a brand new, perfectly matched Electro-Harmonix 7591A Quad. All other tubes are Fisher branded Telefunken. (All test NOS strong)

This beautiful sounding receiver performs like new, delivering all the legendary sound of Fisher tube components.  There are a few small scratches on the top center of the faceplate. The original Fisher walnut case has a few dings and other mars in the finish, but has been refinished and is in over-all good condition considering its age. (See photos)
