Fisher 500C restoration recap repair service rebuild kit fix filter capacitor
Also available a NEW production volume control for this unit. It is a very good idea to have the original replaced. Up for sale is Fisher 500C restoration kit. The scarcity of good, honest techs who can do good and reasonably priced restoration/rebuild of audio equipment made me start offering this restoration kit.
In today's day and age it is very hard to come by a knowledgeable tech who can service your audio gear well. I have seen many poor quality restorations of equipment that cost way too much to its owners. In 99% of the cases there were only a few parts replaced, instead of a full and proper restoration job. Please note a proper restoration must replace all electrolytic caps on all boards. DO NOT fall for partial kits that restore just one PCB (power supply, power amp etc).
One should never replace just one tire and keep the other/others, worn out tires, on (Google it, a very interesting read). A proper rebuild requires a full recap of all PCBs. On the other hand, if one succeeds in finding a good tech, a wait time is usually 6-12 months for the unit to be serviced and costs are sky-high!! I have been servicing audio equipment for many years and have developed deep respect toward all good equipment. Knowing how amazing and warm these units can sound, I have decided to put together this kit. It includes very good upgrades and improvements that MUST be done to the unit. This restoration kit will make a huge difference in the sound quality. All the parts are of high quality Japanese Nichicon / Rubycon / IC / United Chemi capacitors. Knowing how many bogus/fake caps, diodes, resistors etc. "They Shall Have Music"- Avery Fisher. Included in this kit: 1.Nichicon / Panasonic / IC / United Chemi. Detailed instruction with colorful images, schematics, manuals (all of these are in electronic form, I consider these much better than printed version due to zoom availability).
36-pages of very interesting reading. Complete audio path upgrade with high quality US made (IC) audio grade film capacitors. Parts for individual Bias upgrade.You will be able to have each output tube individually Biased after this upgrade. Parts for phono stage upgrade.
Parts for coupling capacitors upgrade. LED dial and indicator bulbs 12.
1 x 3 Amp fuse 13. Instructions on how to clean the chassis and the glass. Instructions on how to clean a faceplate 15. Instructions on how to polish knob covers. Support/help to a reasonable extend in case you need it.
This is what makes us different from other sellers. Here is why the individual Bias feature is a HUGE improvement to this unit. This allows one to use any set of output tubes, no matter if they are matched or no. One will be able to balance those tubes with adjustable Bias. After you place an order please follow up and let us know what Fisher model you are restoring so we send you a proper kit!
See our other LED kits. We also offer NEW & RARE volume control, rotary on/off switches. We may also be interested in purchasing your equipment. Already given tech support as add says. DO not fall for partial kits that restore just one board (power supply, power amp etc). Not only they supply inferior quality caps, but also trying to sell you a very bad idea of doing a partial recap. This is not a good/proper way to restore your audio equipment. A proper rebuild requires a full recap of all the PCBs. A full recap of all the PCBs.
