Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: Fisher 500

Another item to consider is the output tubes currently installed. Early 500s were designed for and shipped with a pair of Mullard EL37s. Later versions used Tungsol 5881s. Service replacements for either were almost always 6L6GCs. A used/good pair of EL37s is worth most of $175 by themselves. As such, "knowledgable" sellers almost always strip out EL37s for personal use or separate sale.
