I've never seen an old piece of gear where the underside components look so good. Colors on the resistors are vibrant. No signs of prolonged heat. Looks like it got little use.

The underside of my early Sherwood S-5000 looks like the day it left the factory. The front panel and chassis topside are very good plus, plus.
I figured it must have been in a cabinet in a non smoking household and away from the kitchen grease. Also little/light use so it didn't bake in it's own heat for hours every week.
Mine too. Clearly someone has done some work on it (they didn't have orange drops in the early '60s) but that doesn't explain every last piece looking mint.

That unit might have been overhauled. Notice the slight "dog boning" of the 5% tolerance resistors. Those parts might be film, not composition. That, along with the fact that 5% tolerance parts are unexpected in an old unit, has me wondering.
The 10% tolerance part is cylindrical, as is to be expected.

I didn't see a parts list so I didn't know stock wasn't 5% . The caps and diodes look period. The cans are still used and not restuffed.
I have worked on a number of Fisher's of late and those components are very typical for those amps, including the "brown turds" caps and those Beyschel carbon film resistors. If you were lucky, those caps would have been Ero film caps really nice film/foil
Looks a lot like a Fisher integrated amp I used to have - X100 or something like that.
It's a KX-200 so yes. Kit version.
