### The Audio Board: www.theAudioBoard.com - The Search Tool for Used High-End Audio Equipment### MOVING SALE: A pending move in the summer forces to liquate my stuff before that. For sale is a vintage, the legendary FISHER 500C Tube FM Stereo Receiver with Phono Stage First off, there were no 12AX7 tubes and output tubes on the receiver when I acquired it. I had to borrow 12AX7 (8 of them) and 7591(4 of them) tubes for testing. Again, no 12ax7 or 7591 tubes. All other tubes are present, and they are all vintage tubes. With all tubes installed. I plugged in a variac at 80V, just to make sure I didnt damage the receiver. The 500C produced music both channels fine when I fed music into AUX. There was cracking noise as I adjusted volume etc. Watch the video of the 500C in operation. So, the receiver works fine in that level but pots need services (cleaning or replacement). I switched to FM but the meters didnt show anything. No signal. No output to the speakers either. Only cracking noise sometimes. I dont know the reason. So, I am selling this 500C in above described condition. Please bid accordingly. At the same time, the new owner needs to bring this to be serviced by a professional before plugging in 120V. I am not liable for any damage if the buyer ignores this warning and decides to use 120V no matter what. And that damage can not be used as the reason for return. Physical condition is good for the age, as you can see in the pictures (study the pictures is a must). The front is pretty nice; no bent corners. The upper right corner has some scotch tape on it. Some center cap on the knobs are missing. Overall is nice. Chassis has dust. I cleaned two spots by hand and the results were quite encouraging: the chassis is actually quite clean under the dust. Bottom plate is present but no feet. Ill pack well and ship worldwide. Super heavy to do overseas though.
