Fisher 500-C 500C Vacuum Tube Receiver Restoration Kit with FULL COLOR PHOTOS!

Description: Fisher 500-C Vacuum Tube Receiver Restoration KitFisher receivers are the BEST receivers ever made by any company - don't yours deserve the best?! Here is the VERY BEST Fisher receiver restoration kit that money can buy! We are and always will be the only source qualified to offer ACCURATE and COMPLETE Resto-Pak Restoration Kits - in fact many of our imitators and/or "competitors" actually have purchased our restoration kits in an attempt to see what secrets we build into our restored units! Is your receiver running hot enough to roast tonight's dinner?? Are your output tube plates glowing RED (check them in total darkness - you might be surprised!) Does your FM stereo sound weakish and out of phase?? Does you receiver simply just don't sound "right"?? DON'T LET YOUR RECEIVER ROAST ITSELF TO DEATH! Your FIFTY YEAR OLD Fisher NEEDS a Fisher RESTO-PAK NOW!!!!! This is the affordable next best thing to a professional hands on Restoration. These kits are custom designed. Our Resto-Pak Restoration kits are WORLD FAMOUS! HUNDREDS of our kits have been installed worldwide for over 15 YEARS and these happy Fishers are still happily singing! DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED! Receiver restoration is NOT the terrible chore one may think it is. This kit provides the BASIC FOUNDATION for good operation and is EXTREMELY beneficial for any receiver that is mostly functional and in need of being refreshed and upgraded. Our kits cover EVERYTHING! BIAS SUPPLY! TUNER FM De-Emphasis Stereo AND Mono! PHONO AND PREAMP STAGES! AMPLIFIER with CIRCUIT PROTECTION! AND MORE! As you may (or may not) be aware, Fisher receivers have substantial problems in the biasing of the output tubes. They were biased WAY to hot even as new, and as the selenium bias rectifier ages, the bias supply voltage gets weaker and weaker. With some luck, the power transformer won't fail. It WILL, however, always be operating at excessively high temperatures due to the strain. OUTSTANDING color pictures including detailed pictures of a MPX board removed from the set so you can see components clearly! The eventual and inevitable result is that your precious set is running hotter and hotter until final failure forces restoration, and the replacement of some costly output tubes! As it is, the 7591 tubes are aging at a VERY accelerated rate due to INCORRECT BIASING causing high idling currents. This can and MUST be corrected before the set is used for any length of time. As an added benefit, the power supply will operate in a more relaxed fashion, and the much cooler operating temperatures will be immediately noticed. Just think of all the stress the power transformer is under, and this power and output tube life is being wasted just to generate HEAT, even when NO music is playing! In addition, ALL of the small electrolytics have developed leakage and other age related problems. The original mylar signal caps are now fragile and leaky after 50 years of heat and torture. The failure of a coupling capacitor or shorted tube can easily spell disaster for an output transformer! Good soldering skills and the ability to follow a schematic are required, although if you know which end of a soldering iron to hold you should not encounter any major problems. Our RESTO-PAKS contain the finest quality modern components available today. This includes ALL small electrolytic capacitors as well as ALL signal and coupling capacitors that normally fail. Approximately 37 individual components in all need to be installed/replaced. Yes it will take some time, however, it is a very thorough process. We include an enlarged copy of the 17 page Operating Manual, 12 page Service Manual for YOUR serial number, and our custom developed Thirty Four PAGE Restoration Guide with FULL COLOR photos! Also included are the very important specific resistors and parts required to correct the FM De-emphasis. FM De-emphasis is 75us (microseconds) which is the North American standard. ALL Fisher stereo tube receivers and tuners employ excessive De-emphasis and therefore are NOT de-emphasizing the FM audio at the proper rate. The result is a loss of natural highs due to the attenuation of the high frequency response in Mono and Stereo. When corrected (a simple change of a few components which are included in EVERY RESTO-PAK) the result is astounding. In fact, we include 1% precision resistors for this application to ensure extremely accurate De-emphasis is achieved and maintained. We can modify the Resto-Pak for the European Standard of 50us at no extra charge! Also, a new, heavy duty Silicon Bias rectifier is supplied, and output tube BIAS setting instructions and parts are included. New super heavy duty power supply diodes and VERY detailed instructions are included as well. Output transformer protection is achieved, and the installation of our kit will provide the ability to determine the PRECISEdegree to which your output tubes are matched using only a digital DC voltmeter! Our package includes a nice enlarged copy of the original owners manual, the CORRECT service manual for your specific unit (determined by the serial number), and our detailed restoration procedure covering everything except alignment (which is covered in the service manual, however, test equipment is needed). The procedure instructs how to correct all weak spots in the unit, such as checking the specialized MPX filters which tend to drift in value thereby affecting audio response, balance, etc. Also, the benefits of cathode resistor installation on each output tube are explained in detail. In addition, several weak spots in the Stereo Multiplex circuit are addressed - components that (as these glorious units continue to age) in recent years have shown signs of significant failure rates that now warrant replacement - and these are ALL included as well in our kit. All capacitors that must be changed in the entire set are noted in the manuals on an individual basis with crystal clear instructions. All parts are identified by specific Fisher part number for clear and easy parts identification. We now include COLOR PHOTOS that have been marked to show critical areas in great detail so you can identify EXACTLYwhere and how to install the new components! Phase Inverter adjustment instructions are also included enabling effective adjustment without a distortion analyzer. Also included are very detailed instructions on SAFELY cleaning the dial glass without damaging the delicate screening, and cleaning the face panel and chassis - there are even notes on effective soldering techniques and general safety issues. These kits are a wealth of knowledge and provide upgrades that will make an astounding improvement in the performance of your fine Fisher! DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED! You CAN do it! The all complete RESTO-PAK is only $89.95 shipping and insurance for all Great 50 USA States is FREE! Most Other Countries Airmail - $25.00 PLEASE MENTION SERIAL NUMBER WHEN ORDERING. Serial number ensures you get the EXACT service manual for your Fisher! There are over SIX different service manuals for some models - the proper serial number ensures you get the EXACT one for YOUR set.Questions during the installation? We provide FREE expert email support to assist with any issues! FREE COLOR Photos are available via email in case you have trouble with some parts installation at NO CHARGE!
