    Fisher TA-600 Enclosure

    are they custom jobs or otherwise? because from what i've researched they've labelled three different cabinets, the ta-6, ta-8, and ta-10. the 20-u is supposed to be the same size as the ta-10, or 16 15/16 x 4 13/16 x 13 3/4, according to the attached file. the ta-6 is 17 3/4 x 5 1/2 x 13 3/4...

    Fisher TA-600 Enclosure

    steve, the x1000 integrated used the ta-10 cabinet, or the 20u. both larger than the ta-8 or ta-6 cabinets. the 500b and 800b take the same ta-10 and 20u cabinets, though my spreadsheet shows they also used a 30u cabinet... the u-signified cabinets were walnut or mahogany, or blonde (which i...

    Fisher TA-600 Enclosure

    gadget, the case for the ta-600 was the ta-6, and the case for the ta-800 was the ta8. the ta-8 is a bigger receiver, so it got a slightly bigger case. the ta-6 also fits the 202-t preamp-tuner. both ta- cases are metal wrapped in "leatherette".

    800B and 500B acquisitions

    when i redid the cam caps on my 800b i found using bag ties (paper covered wire like when you buy bulk at the market) work well to hold wires far enough away to not hit them with the soldering iron.

    800B and 500B acquisitions

    sounds good. i have to finish off a scott 299c restore, then i will pull the fisher and work on the tuner sections until they're right. i think i have a 2.3K in mine, can't remember, but the tubes bias at the cool side of things, so it's fine. sounds delicious.

    How To Figure Value Of A Statue

    looks like 1892-1915 timeframe. you'd have to determine if it was actually bronze, or spelter painted to look like bronze. looks like the latter to me. http://iantiqueonline.ning.com/photo/fabrication-francaise-paris-made-in-paris-france

    The TA-800 model doesn't get much attention

    steve, that's just excellent stuff. i have a ta-600 in the stack awaiting restoration, and cannot wait to compare it with my 800b and 800c. finding a ta-800 anymore is needle/haystack stuff.

    Help with identification of Fisher Amplifiers

    @dcgillespie will tell you NOT to move any of the wires inside the chassis. keep them running with all weird bends and oddness. apparently they were tweaked to sound their best with the wires done the way they came from the factory (lowering interference, or something, but with the search...

    Fair restoration cost for a Sansui AU-517?

    i worked with qrx a couple months ago, and it took a bit of time, but am added to their queue to be called for shipping the unit sometime in the fall. then six months to restore. it's a 9090 that i want to have soup to nutsed...looks like close to a grand plus shipping to and fro.
