The receiver that started Fisher's run as the American receiver benchmark - introduced in 1957 and carried forward through the 500-B/C line.
Valve receiver/unit: HT rails stay live after switch-off and the original can electrolytics must be reformed or replaced before power-up. Output transformers and the faceplate are the value drivers; history of a professional restoration usually adds more than it costs.
Marks that can be entered for this maker: Serial number, Model / catalogue number, Model / catalogue number, British capacitor code (Hunts, Mullard), Japanese capacitor code (Nichicon, Chemi-Con, ELNA), EIA component code, Version & era marker.
Nothing predates 1957; components only push the date later.
Sold-price aggregates are not collected yet, so the archive gives no figure — condition, originality of the transformers and a documented recap move this model more than any list price.
