Fisher 500C restoration
#7

The workbench is now available, and thoughts are turning to this project, and how to approach it. The mods to the output circuit will be implemented, but to begin with, the set will be recapped with new electrolytics and made functional with the stock circuit, ahead of making changes. This way, there should be less chance for confusion/errors to creep in.

So first things - new caps, and replacement of rectifiers (at least the selenium bridge unit). I am still weighing up the cost vs. practical advantage of purchasing the Hayseed kit for the multi-section cans. There's a side of me that likes the idea of restuffing the original cans, and saving money. There is another side that whispers in my head to take the easier route. After all there are four of them, three on top of the chassis and one underneath... Beyond that, there are still a few electrolytics to buy that are not included in the kit.

Any thoughts?

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
