"We also have a Full restoration kit for this model -----------> LINKI have been servicing Fisher units for a while. With years I've developed deep respect toward Fisher gear (especial tube gear). It is a pity to see how many units arewasted/mutilated (drilled holes in the faceplate or chassis for a toggle switch installation, cord cutting for in-line switches etc), just because of the broken on/off switch! After many years of back and forth I decided to re-manufacture many of Fisher volume controls that were used back in the days. My main goal was to produce a high quality part that is better in comparison to the original volume pot.I am glad to announce that I succeeded. I am very happy with the result and am sure you will be too!This is modern production potentiometer. An exact copy of the original pot, but much better in terms of reliability and quality.The original on/off switch cap fits the back of this pot, so that the gray on/off switch will be covered (Please see it demonstrated in the attached image).Please note the cap used for demo is not included in the auction.WORD OF CAUTION: For those of you who are considering altering the unit (drilling holes in the faceplate/chassis for a toggle switch or adding an inline switch by cutting the power cord)I would say STOP! Such alteration of the faceplate/chassis or the cord will play a significant role in how much you can sell the unit for in the future! DO NOT ALTER YOUR UNIT!!!Any such alteration will decrease the value of the unit by at least double the amount you spend on this new potentiometer. Down the road you will want to sell the unit and any alteration (such as, mentioned above) will devalue it significantly. Specs:Resistance: 500K eachTap type: AudioLoudness tap: 125KOn/OFF switch: can sustain up to 6A current.Compatible with models: 400Here are couple of points why one would be better off buying modern production pot for his/her Fisher receiver:1. Many original volume controls that Fisher used came with huge design flows: a. Notoriously unreliable on/off switch. Experience has shown time and again that by now more than 75% of those switches have failed and the other 25% is one foot in the grave. Very often I have customers who tell stories of a receiver turning itself on while the power switch is in off position. The reason for this is the faulty switch that shorts and causes the unit to turn itself on. Now just think about it! What if one is not home when a tube receiver/amp comes live! Definite fire hazard!!!Please note, there were 2 versions of this switch! One of the versions had 4 connectors on the back. That was an overkill. One can use a switch with 2 connectors in place of the old switch. You will need to trace how and cold wires and keep them separate, the other 2 wires should also be soldered to separate legs in any order. b. Unmatched potentiometer. By now the majority of 60-year-old volume controls have deteriorated carbon resistance paths. Those must be matched and balanced because they play a huge role in even sound distribution. If a volume pot is unbalanced one speaker will sound louder than the other! Even if one fixes an old switch/pot or buys NOS, the result will be short lived due to huge flows in the design itself.All these issues have been addressed by this volume control. These are high quality factory made potentiometers. I use these controls when restoring customers' Fisher units. Only positive results and well balanced sound. I see many posts on various forums where people are looking/asking for a good replacement.I have a limited quantity. Will keep few for myself and help others with this hard to find pot. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you and let's make your Fisher sing again!!!Restoration kits also available.See the -----------> LINKWe also offer a full LED upgrade kit for this model -----------> LINKWe may also be interested in purchasing your equipment.
