I belong to a later generation ... born in 81, and in Brazil.
Here, the fisher models are a bit rare. I've always liked vintage sounds, and used a lot of pioneers of x3x series.
I met the first fisher through the models TX100 and 250TX, which appear for acquisition for a reasonable price. Today, the 250TX is semi-restored thanks to the help of audiokarma members. After, a few months later I got the 220T all original, and function great too.
A year later, I decided to give myself an original FISHER KX 200, but at a high price. Well, I appreciate it a lot, and sounds fantastic. I already had some tube amplifiers of 50's and 60's, but this fisher, with its big output transformers and the RCA 7591 tubes give a wonderful sound. With the help of Dave Gillespie and Larry here in audio karma, I recapped it, and made the necessary adjustments. Today it is one of the my 3 best amplifiers.
A few months ago I got an all-original FM-90X tube fisher, including the T-tank. The only problem with it was the rectifier tube that was broken. Well, it replaced the tube, and the electrolytic capacitors, and surprise ... everything worked perfectly. The two tuning VUs work perfectly. And the sound of it really transforms the FM sound into a warm sound ... exceptional ...
My great sadness was when I did not get a fisher 500s that appeared around here ... without the power transformer ... and the rest without any guarantee of operation ... The price was too high for the chassis without any tubes or guarantees. .. then gave up buying. But I always read that this receiver has a great warm sound... So, i I have a regret for not trying to restore it.
Well .. for now I have always been looking for some new fisher to buy ... but the prices are really high ... without any good sense
