Compared with a restored Fisher 400 or another proven vintage tube receiver, US$1,200 is ambitious: it sits well above the supplied market’s US$700 median and US$950 75th percentile, with the listing marked unknown condition. That premium only makes sense if it has documented restoration, strong tubes, and a clean cosmetic presentation.
The Fisher 400 remains a desirable 1960s receiver for good reason: its 7868 push-pull amplifier delivers a warm, musical presentation, while the FM tuner is genuinely capable and the simpler circuit has an appealing clarity. At this price, insist on evidence of recent service—especially power-supply work, selenium-rectifier replacement, tested tubes, and reliable controls—plus the wood case and original accessories if applicable. Without that documentation, comparable examples around US$700–US$950 offer considerably better value.
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.
