More: That little nick on the top back left has been blended better since this picture. The tips of some of the dials need replacing (easy and readily available I'm told). I just got this back from servicing from a previous Fisher dealer [and excellent technician] who says it plays and sounds beautiful...And I concur! This unit has another full lifetime of beautiful music in it ready to melt all the stress of your day in every listening session. I will box it REALLY well or if you're in the LI/NY metro area we could arrange pick-up or even delivery... Otherwise I'll split actual shipping costs.
Check my feedback on A'gon and buy with confidence. Pick it up for the holidays! You will love it!
thanks for looking and have a very happy....
From an early Stereophile review:
The Fisher 500c has a big, robust sound. Like an Islay single-malt whisky (footnote

it's delicate but raucous and can kick some serious butt. It's detailed without being sterile, musical without being sappy. It's the "All of the above" box on the audiophile SAT. It's also remarkably affordable...
Avery Fisher's 500-C may unlock new worlds for the adventurous audio thrill-seeker or it may simply be an affordable solution for the summer home. It will definitely put some fun back into your listening obsession. Avery Fisher was right about those "unlimited years of musical enjoyment." The Fisher 500-C will blow apart your expectations of vintage audio.
