joshnich Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Hello all, In the tradition of offering items for sale here first. I have a perfect fisher 400 for sale. It includes the walnut case (in perfect condition) as well as copies of the service manual and owners manual. This receiver is a perfect example of the great Fisher tube equipment (even if it does look like a radio to quote Craig!) I happen to have two of these so I am selling one much to my chagrin. The chassis is spectacular no pitting no rust its dead on perfect. This unit has been gone through and the caps have been replaced and upgraded with the basic Vacuum tube Valley rebuild kit. I am asking 500 bucks. again including the case. Let me know as Ill put it on eBay in a week or so. As soon as my cameras battery recharges Ill take a few shots and post em. And also let you know what the tube set is. Thanks josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch RF7 Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Hmmmm, how does this compare to the Scott 299-C? Does it have the PHONO inputs and such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshnich Posted December 21, 2003 Author Share Posted December 21, 2003 Yes it does. Not only does it have a very fine phono stage, it is also a great reciever, with a radio shack antinae it picks up more stations and hold em than just about any tuner I have tried. If you want you can try it and if you dont like it return it and all you are out is shipping. It really is a fine unit . Ill post pics tomoorow, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please make a detailed list of what has been replaced, and what tubes it has and if it is fully biased and tuned to perfection. How would this unit compare sound quality wise to a Scott 299-c?

Rick ---------------- Thanks, I sure will. ---------------- As I told George in an email, they are both excellent sounding units. My 299b has a slight edge in sound which I attribute to Craigs rebuild vs the rebuild I got elsewhere with the fisher. Also, the scott has a tad more headroom (not much though). With the fisher, you do get a tuner also which is a plus. The scott has a center channel, not sure of the fisher. Comes in handy if you want to add a sub to the mix. Both are great and if Craig has rebuilt one and not the other, I'd go with the Craig rebuild. He uses the best parts available. Also, compare the tubes. As far as coolness goes, I give the edge to fisher. They have a few more bells & whistles and seem to be worth a little more on the used market. You can't go wrong with either but I'd look into the factors mentioned above. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch RF7 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Thanks Gary for replying to me and answering my question Im not set on this amp, so if anyone wants it then go right ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshnich Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 Here is a photo of the Unit. The tubes in the front end as well as the Multiplex are all telefunken 12ax7s either branded as such or as Fishers made in West Germany. The outputs are Fisher made in US - I dont know who made the Fisher tubes in the US. The unit is perfect in every way and the only reason I am selling is because I hve two of these. And having just aquired a MC225 I am bit oversocked at the moment! Any questions let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
