Thanks JP really enjoyed the deductive reasoning and general knowledge of amplifiers on display in this video. As I have limited expertise I appreciate the process you have provided. I look forward to the next episode.
I found one of these while cleaning out a cabinet at our church. Stored alongside is a service manual copyright 1970, 16 pages some of which fold out. If you need a copy I can probably scan it.
I love the amp troubleshooting stuff, and this one is right up my alley. I wonder if the transistor died of natural causes, or if it had help? I have a feeling that the plot is going to thicken.
My theory is an ongoing problem with the leaky capacitor at the output of the preamp was over biasing the input of the amp and the class a driver just gave up. The channel went DC and opened the fuses and the sorted class a pulled down the supply resistor, burning it open causing the offset in the left channel. Eventually the speaker attached gave up and shorted, opening the pico fuses in the left channel as well
@@JordanPier an old man in our neighborhood died recently and his son is selling off all his electronics. And I mean an incredible amount of stuff. I already bought a Dynakit mark 3 and 4. I bought a variac and powered up the Mark 4. Yesterday I bought a Thomas Organ tube amp with original tubes. There's 3 old Fisher receivers sitting on the shelf. All tube. I'll ask how much. If you are looking for any old test equipment, let me know. This guy has alot of stuff.
Hello JP I came across your video while looking for a Fischer 250T output transistor TR 1036-3. I'm studying after watching your Fisher 450T repair video Please. For beginners in audio repair, please record the video and information accurately. If you have a chance, please upload a 250T repair video as well. thank you

It's great hearing you think through the troubleshooting. It sure makes it tough without the schematic.

Really impressed that you can diag this without a schematic, and take a guess at that resister value. There is no substitute for experience.
You just passed shango as my favorite show!!
Crazy how they went from big point to point tube units to these mid 70's looking ones in just a few years

Thanks, but the owner of this one sent me a copy.
@@JordanPier 👍 Anything I should be aware of before I plug it in? Although handy, I’m not looking for a repair project. Yet.
@@tchads_57 make a dim bulb tester and fire it up on around a 100w bulb. That way if something decides to go south it won't kill the machine

Looks like a worthy one, will you check out every component in there to see its value? Not as touchy as a like 80's one yeah?
Like the ring heat sinks.
Are these old Fisher's worth fixing and do they sound good ?
I know where to get a couple that are in need of repairs.
Anything made by Fisher before they were purchased by Sanyo is worth fixing.

21:58 how is that 2N3906 that expensive for you? For me i can get it for 0.04euro each from a reputable seller.
Leaving me hanging!
Good job man!
Same bat amplifier, same bat channel 😀
I bet some of the TIP41a and pnp version would work, ive used them in many things.
Yes im evil lol.
Don’t blow compressed air behind the glass! LOL ask me how I know…
..wonder why it even happened..the 69'-71' Fishers are very well built..not the prettiest..but sound and build is extraordinary..
Sometimes parts just fail.
