    Fisher X-202: is the Phono section any good?

    I'm using a Stanton 881s cartridge with a generic stylus that I can't remember who makes it. I've tried a lot of Shures but never any ATs. My setup sounds great to my ears and is very musical.

    Fisher X-202: is the Phono section any good?

    I think my Thorens TD-125 II and X-202 are a great combination. I changed the old caps in the phono section to the yellow (Illinois?) ones. Tubes are critical and I'm liking the new issue Mullard ones now. But I've also had good results with Sovtek LPS and of course the old Telefunkins that...

    Fisher 290-T Help Needed

    I've bought two from the ebay guy. It's been a few years ago so I don't know if the quality has changed, but they worked really well. One I had to mount 180 degrees opposite to the original and the travel to the 'off' click is a bit longer.

    Fisher 500c First time open, what's been done here?

    If you plan to do an IBAM/IBBA, you remove that cap.

    Fisher 300B Assesment and Restoration

    Nice job on the stuffing! I like the use of the 'donut' style spacers. Is that styrofoam?

    The EBay Pot - revisited

    I've bought two from the guy around 5yrs ago. One of them I had to rotate the pot for it to agree with the dial but both worked really well. I've read recently quite a few negative reviews so maybe he's not getting a quality product any longer.

    Novice Fisher 500b Restoration

    Really clean 500-B congrats. I'm not sure I'd be spraying contact cleaner everywhere but I guess it won't hurt. I think a better cleaning solution is IPA - isopropyl alcohol above 90%. It's not unusual to lose or move letters when cleaning the dial glass even under the most careful conditions...

    IBBA or IBAM

    I agree with notD. IBAM is much easier with 7868s that are not matched.

    New to Fisher and Tubes Please advise.... FISHER X-101-D.

    Have you tried Farnell UK? I used them when I lived in the UK a few years ago. I like the pencil - styled caps that Rubycon and some others make for stuffing cans. I couldn't remember the voltage for those replacement caps but here's a listing from Farnell...

    How robust is the selector wafer switch (500C) ?

    Sometimes overly spraying with contact cleaner can damage the wafers or make them weak enough to crack. Best to dip a small brush in in a bit of cleaner and brush the contacts avoiding the wafers.

    Fisher X-202 in the house

    That's a real gem. I love mine - best sounding integrated made by Fisher.

    Heard a short zzzz through speakers and 800c turned off

    Tony, those output coupling caps look like Soviet paper-in-oil K40Y-9s

    Fisher 800-C on/off switch rebuild, replace.

    Yep, most of us have learned not to use the delicate volume switch but to power it from a multi-outlet switch.

    Nice grab!
