PhilcoFordTesla,
Yes, you should get that 700-T out, freshen it up, replace capacitors as needed and use that thing! It is probably one of the best (if not THE best, 500-TX and 800-T notwithstanding) transistorized receivers Fisher ever made. It's certainly the best of their early transistor models.
Four years on, my 700-T has become the daily driver in my home office. I've noticed it is losing bass lately so it will likely need to have the PECs in the tone control circuitry rebuilt. That should be fun...not. I don't know when I'll get around to that though, it is very low priority right now.
