The Fisher 400 is a beloved 1960s all-tube FM multiplex receiver that earned a reputation for rich sound and collectible early-Fisher charm. At US$700, this asking price is a strong deal, sitting well below the 25th percentile of US$899 and far under the median of US$1,098 from recent comparable listings. Refreshing a working unit at this price offers genuine value, especially since fully serviced models typically command US$900–US$1,300.
This receiver stands out for its warm tube character, precise FM multiplex tuning, and highly collectible status among early-Fisher enthusiasts. The upside lies in timing and rarity: original-owner examples with intact tubes and controls are hard to find, and at US$700, you’re paying for a project with clear upside if it turns on cleanly. If it includes the original wood case or knobs, the value jumps further—knobs alone have fetched US$75. For a fellow enthusiast, this is a buying opportunity, not a caution.

Fisher is an American hi-fi name founded in 1945 in New York by Avery Fisher. In the vacuum-tube and early stereo era, The Fisher Radio Corporation built a strong reputation for carefully engineered, high-quality home audio gear and helped define what “hi-fi” meant to serious listeners in the 1950s and 1960s.
Historically, Fisher’s core products were amplifiers, receivers, tuners, and other home audio electronics rather than modern lifestyle categories like headphones, DACs, or cables. The brand was especially associated with tube amplifiers and stereo receivers, along with related components that brought higher-fidelity sound into mainstream living rooms.
Today, Fisher is best understood as a vintage-collector and heritage hi-fi brand rather than a current high-end market leader. Its classic equipment is respected among enthusiasts for its sound quality, build, and historical importance, while the brand itself has long since moved away from its original position as a premium American audio manufacturer.
