Compared with a clean integrated amp or a more collectible Marantz/Pioneer at this money, US$585 feels ambitious for a Fisher RS-1022 unless it’s been fully serviced, looks exceptional, and includes the original cosmetics. Typical completed used examples I found land roughly around US$55–US$205, with even serviced or cleaner pieces generally well below this asking price, so this is sitting far above normal market value.
That said, the RS-1022 has the appeal of a late-’70s silverface Fisher: good looks, straightforward FM/stereo utility, and enough vintage charm to be worth owning if you specifically want one. At this price, I’d want proof of a recent bench service, all lamps working, stable output, and no crackle or channel imbalance; without that, it’s a pass for value-focused buyers.

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.
