ZEUS121996 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm new to selling on the site so bear with me. I have a Fisher 500c for sale. Asking $450 plus shipping. I picked this up this year from the original owner who said he had it serviced every 5 years or so. As you can see from the pictures the unit is in excellent shape with no major scratches or marks anywhere. As with most units of this age the knobs need replacing and a thorough cleaning and check up are in order. Also included are the original instruction manual (warranty card detached) the original service manual, and a McIntosh amplifier clinic wiorksheet comparing the unit to a McIntosh, The 500c clipped out at16.97 volts and 35 watts.If you would like me to ship it directly to your service tech, please provide the address and I will send it there. I dont have the original box, but with remove the tubes and wrap everything in high density foam before boxing and shipping If you have any questions, please feel free to ask TY Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEUS121996 Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Any interest before it goes off to CL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Any interest before it goes off to CL? If this compares with my Fisher 400, It should be a good deal. Has anyone compared the 400 to the 500? Should not be difficult to build a nice cabinet for it. Choose any wood you like Could probably make it purty!...........Taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEUS121996 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Everyone is telling me to hold on to these until I get my Khorns, the tubes will outshine the SX-1250 I am running right now. I have been instructed to thin the herd so this is my thinning. Anyone interested yet? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muel Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Wow! Choosing between keeping a SX-1250 or 500c is a nice problem to have! These two are completely different but both are awesome in their own way. I suggest you try to manage to hear both with Khorns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Has there been any work done to your 1250? Those are becomming notorious for having issues with the capacitors on the power supply board as mine did. The original speaker relay is suspect as well. It can be a pricey job unless you can do it yourself. Just a word of caution. I am currently using a restored 500C with the SDS Labs board. Between the two, I would take the Fisher hands down but everyone's ears are different. That is a great buy on the 500C. I'm surprised you still have it. Tough time of year being after Christmas and before tax time. Good luck with the sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 I wish I only had 2 receivers to choose between. Nak, Denon, Sansui etc. I think I'm becoming the hoarder, so I've been told to thin it out. I have enough gear for 2 systems, so I am having a hard time selling the Fisher. I restored a 1919 Victorola cabinet that the Fisher fits in beautifully. I dropped a turntable in where the old speaker was and have the amps inside under the Fisher. I really like the way it looks. The 1250 has been restored by a gentleman out by DeKalb who does great work so I should get quite a few years out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonzo Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Good to hear about the 1250. There are better sounding receivers out there but not many as impressive to behold. That cabinet is as beautiful as it is cool. They just don't make stuff like that anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
