Description
This is an extremely rare Fisher K-100 mono tube receiver amplifier. This chassis was standard issue in the early Fisher Custom Electra consoles so if you are restoring a late 1950s Fisher Custom Electra you must have this chassis to make it complete. It comes with its original near mint mahogany faceplate and outboard Brilliance & Presence attenuators with mounting brackets and knobs. The K-100 is the same exact amplifier as the famous Fisher 500 but made to fit the Custom Electra console with a different faceplate and uses the tuning eye tube instead of tuning meters for radio. My plan was to build a beautiful mahogany case to match the faceplate and make this into a very unique and awesome sounding mono rig but I just have not finished the project so I thought I would at least offer this up to someone who desperately needs it to complete their Custom Electra Console project or someone who would love to take my vision the last mile and build a nice case for it. I did get as far as meticulously servicing the amplifier with new capacitors and replaced any resistors that were out of specs while I was at it. This rig works flawlessly and sounds fantastic. I did not get to servicing the tuner. The left half of the FM band picks up stations but I cannot get any FM stations on the right half of the scale past about 98. I'm sure this is a simple repair but I'll admit I'm not an expert on tuner repairs so I have not dig into that issue yet. The radio tubes are the original Fisher branded tubes with the exception of the 6U8 tube which is a new old stock Amperex. For the power tubes I installed a beautiful matched pair of Mullard/Amperex Bugle Boy EL37s with matched codes and test at new old stock levels. For the (3) 12AX7 tubes I installed rugged original USA Philips mil spec 12AX7WA tubes. This amplifier is completely plug and play ready with excellent sounding phono and auxiliary stages but the tuner section will need to be serviced in order for this to be 100%.
