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

RE: Fisher 500

Any unit that old will need to be addressed by a tech to replace aging electrolyic caps and any paper caps, using a unit of that vintage in an unrestored state is extremely risky, even if it seems to be working fine. many capacitors just dont last 50 years. Just normal maintenence for this old stuff. For that price, you can afford to do some work on it. Far cheaper to get it serviced BEFORE you fry the transformers or output tubes from failing caps.
