Condition unknown, so the price is hard to love at US$499. The RS-1035 typically trades much lower in the used market, with most examples I found landing around US$150-US$250, and clean tested units often around US$200-US$240; at that backdrop, US$499 looks ambitious unless this one is truly immaculate, fully serviced, and bundled with extras.
That said, it’s a likable vintage Fisher: a straightforward late-’70s silver-face receiver with enough power for efficient speakers, a decent phono stage, and the sort of warm, unfussy presentation collectors enjoy. If it’s all-original, quiet in operation, and cosmetically sharp, it can be a satisfying buy for a Fisher fan—but at this asking price, I’d want proof of recent service, strong cosmetic condition, and a complete, ready-to-run package.
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.
