This needs to be rewound. Still some folks around doing it for your vintage fisher tube amps.
At US$25, this Fisher 800C is an undeniable bargain, sitting far below the 25th percentile of the typical used market for this vintage tube receiver. When new in 1963, the 800C cost US$449.50, and even today, working examples of this classic Fisher tube receiver typically trade in the US$150–US$300 range depending on condition and calibration. This listing represents roughly one-tenth of the lower end of that range, making it a rare opportunity to acquire a revered piece of hi-fi history at a price that barely covers the cost of a replacement power cord.
The Fisher 800C is well-regarded for its warm, musical tube sound and robust AM/FM tuners, delivering a rich listening experience that modern receivers often lack. Its vintage all-tube design offers genuine sonic upside for enthusiasts seeking authenticity, and at this price, even a unit needing recapping or alignment is a worthwhile project. Unless the condition is visibly broken or missing critical parts like the speaker or manual, this is a buy-it-now opportunity for anyone building a vintage tube system.
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.
