Buying notes
Fisher tube FM stereo receiver; the solid-state 500-C is a different model. Check which version this is before buying. Tube complement condition and FM front-end alignment needed. Check both channels and tuner sensitivity. Service requires tube expertise. Fisher tube receivers are undervalued relative to Marantz equivalents.
