Hi folks,
As mentioned in one of the "Finds" threads, I was gifted a Fisher 500C receiver in need of some TLC. This will be the place where the work is documented. In a while, I'll add the as-found pics.
Yesterday, I popped off the bottom cover, and just started to take a look around in general to get familiar. The output transformers look to be in good shape, and nothing is obviously burned up, including the rectifiers. The original fuse is still intact. This is all is promising, as I was told by my benefactor that "At some point, it just stopped working" which leaves a lot of open questions.
There are a few electrolytics, to replace, the filter cans, of course, and some of the small axial types in the output tube circuits look leaky/suspect.
I'm looking forward to this one
Ed

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
