Listed as for parts or repairs. Powers on but overheats seriously. Smells like burnt when powered on. Comes with tubes and knobs. Please see detailed pictures.
Fisher 500 C, listened to this unit for years. Still working, just don’t listen to anymore. Unit is in nice shape for its age, review the pictures. Black metal grill is easily seen in one picture. Grill is off on the picture showing the tubes in the back of the unit. I will include the cooling fan if you are interested. Fan is mounted on a wood stand with foam pad, I used for airflow when listening.
This Fisher 500-C (serial number 64267U) is in really nice cosmetic condition. The front panel looks terrific with very little cosmetic wear. We cleaned the controls with electrical contact cleaner, but that’s about all the work we’ve done. The tubes are all original and branded for Fisher, including all of the Telefunken smooth plate 12AX7 tubes! It’s playing great and has been tested with the auxiliary and phono inputs. No issues were found! Please keep in mind that the tubes are untested and I cannot guarantee their condition. Also, a cabinet and plastic feet are not included. The bottom line is this… You’ll receive your item on time and in perfect condition regardless of how big, heavy, or delicate your item may be! WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE SALE: You will only receive what is shown in the photographs. If you do not see it in the photos, it is likely not included in the sale. That includes manuals, packaging, power cords, etc. However, please note that it is your responsibility to ensure we receive the item in good condition.

Being an electronics tech, I see voltages that are way too high for the designed circuit. Nice looking bucking transformer with stainless cover! Turns device and your equipment on or off. You have a choice of 3% or 7% voltage drop. All vintage tube equipment should be using this voltage reducer. Read on; After WWll and up until 1968, household voltages were 117 volts. Typically voltages these days range from 120-125. Your vintage audio equipment was designed to operate around lower voltages of years ago. You might ask yourself what is a few extra volts? Take into account that the power supply in your vintage device is multiplying those few extra volts many times so that the end result could be 20-30-40 volts more than the circuit was designed for. This could lead to transformer failure, component failure and shorter tube life. As you can see in the photo, the voltage reducer brought the line voltage down from 124 to 116. This is approximately a 7% drop. Simply plug your vintage electronics into the reducer outlet. Will work with equipment drawing up to a total of 4 amps. Has protective 4 amp fusing. Metal box is grounded through heavy duty 3 wire power cord. As an example; Photo shows voltage of Dynaco ST-70 at 467v on todays line voltage and then 438v plugged into the voltage reducer. The correct voltage for this Dynaco amp calls for 435v at this point. Also your filament voltage will be more in line with what it should be. All other voltages are much closer to Dynaco factory specifications with the reducer. Your device will run cooler and safer, extending component, transformer and tube life! Please state voltage drop preference when ordering. Strongly recommended for Dynaco St 70, since they were produced with power transformers designed to operate with 117 line voltage. Your transformer will run cooler, tubes will last longer and all voltages will be closer to where they should be!
This Fisher X-100 (serial number 38217K) is in excellent cosmetic condition. The front panel looks terrific with little cosmetic wear and sparkles. We did replace the two can capacitors on top and a few on the bottom. In addition, we cleaned the controls with electrical contact cleaner. The tubes are all original and branded for Fisher! It’s playing great and has been tested with the auxiliary and phono inputs. No issues were found! Please keep in mind that the tubes are untested and I cannot guarantee their condition.
