FISHER 400 FM Stereo Tube Receiver Rated at 28 watts per channel SUPER For Sale

HTML Style Sheet FISHER 400 FM Stereo Tube Receiver Rated at 28 watts per channel Description If you\'re familiar with tube audio, the name Fisher needs no introduction. Named after its founder and guiding light, Avery Fisher. The company began in 1945 and produced some of the world\'s best-performing and most elegantly designed high-fidelity equipment during the 1950s and 1960s. The Model 400 FM receiver shown here was manufactured from 1964 to 1968. Some tube enthusiasts rank it as one of the finest FM receivers ever made.

The 400 closely resembles the Fisher 500 and 800 series receivers of the 1960s, with a brushed metal faceplate and brass-faced knobs. On the left side of the dial, you can see the famous Fisher bird logo, with a musical note in its beak.

The front view shows the 400\'s straight forward controls, with five round knobs for tuning, power/volume, left-right balance, treble, and bass. A sixth round knob selects among several functions: tape aux, FM mono, FM stereo with filter, FM stereo, phono stereo, phono mono, and tape head. Slider switches control the tape monitor, speaker on/off, high-frequency filter, and loudness contour circuits. A stereo headphone jack is located between the two pairs of slider switches. The front view also shows the audio transformers, a pair of big black items in the center, as well as the even larger power transformer to the right. All this \"big iron\" makes the 400 darned heavy.

Visible in the rear view are the receiver\'s four audio output tubes, separated from the output transformers by a metal shield for heat protection. The 400 uses all-glass \"Novar\" type 7868 tubes in a push-pull configuration.

Fishers of this type also used the newly-developed \"Nuvistors\" in their patented \"Golden Synchrode\" FM front end. A Nuvistor is a miniaturized tube in a small metal can. Multiplex is handled by the MPX-65 section.
