Beautiful old Fisher stereo amplifier in amazing condition and ready for restoration! Pulled it out of a console several years ago with hopes to make it a standalone unit.Tubes have not been tested, but when it was in the console everything worked and sounded fantastic. These are all original tubes that are cosmetically in wonderful shape and have no signs of burn out.NOTE: This is a project amplifier and is not currently operable. It needs some simple modifications to make it work independently without the original console preamp. There are plenty of resources online that explain how to do this.It will be packed very safely for shipping with tubes padded in a separate sturdy box in the package. Shipping will be insured and includes tracking.
With 113 recent comparables at a US$175 median and US$399 at the 75th percentile, US$650 lands clearly above the typical used market and reads as ambitious rather than fair. It would need exceptional originality, verified service, and standout cosmetics to justify that premium.
That said, this is a respected vintage tube amp and original tubes can add real appeal for collectors and listeners who value an authentic package. The upside here is mostly in provenance and completeness, so a buyer should want proof of stable operation, fresh maintenance, and clean transformer health before paying this level.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
