Fisher Model 400 Vacuum Tube Receiver restoration Kit Now with FULL COLOR PHOTOS

Description: Fisher 400 Vacuum Tube Receiver Restoration Kit!Here is the VERY BEST Fisher receiver restoration kit that money can buy! Knowledge is power - and this kit is exactly that - a plethora of knowledge and instruction. We are also 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! You NEED a Fisher RESTO-PAK NOW!!!!! This is the affordable next best thing to a professional hands on Restoration by our best. 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! Our kits cover EVERYTHING! and MORE! BIAS SUPPLY! TUNER FM De-Emphasis Stereo AND Mono! PHONO AND PREAMP STAGES!COUPLING CAPACITORS! AMPLIFIER function 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. Under these conditions the receiver is always operating at excessively high temperatures due to the strain and your output tubes are not-so-slowly cooking themselves to failure. The eventual and inevitable result is that your precious set is running hotter and hotter until final failure forces "repair", and the replacement of some costly output tubes! Even as they left the factory the 7868 tubes were aging at a VERY accelerated rate due to 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. Installation of our kits requires good soldering skills and the ability to follow a schematic, 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 30 individual components in all need to be installed/replaced. Yes it will take you some time but the effort will be rewarding and well worth it. Also included are the very specific resistors 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 resistors which are included in EVERY RESTO-PAK) the result is astounding. We can even modify the Resto-Pak for the European Standard of 50us at no extra charge! Also, a new, heavy duty Silicon Bias full wave rectifier is supplied, and Bias adjusting 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 PRECISE degree 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). We now include COLOR PHOTOS that have been marked to show critical areas in great detail so you can identify EXACTLY where and how to install the new components! The procedure addresses MANY potential weak spots in the unit such as MPX coils that may drift in value and capacitors that tend to leak. Also, the benefits of cathode resistor installation on each output tube are explained in detail. 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. Phase Inverter adjustment instructions are also included. 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 technique and general safety issues. These kits are a wealth of knowledge and provide upgrades that will make an astounding improvement in the performance and reliability of your fine Fisher!CAUTION! Be VERY careful when using Russian 7868 tubes ESPECIALLY EH! The pins are NOT the correct pins. They are too thick and will stretch out your sockets so that you will not be able to use vintage tubes again unless the sockets are re-tensioned or replaced!The all complete RESTO-PAK is only $89.95 shipping for all 50 Great USA States is FREE! MOST OTHER COUNTRIES $25.00 Airmail.PLEASE NOTE! ebay is now charging sellers OVER 12 percent in fees which is calculated on the ENTIRE amount INCLUDING SHIPPING AND SALES TAX!! YES - we even pay fees on SHIPPING and SALES TAX!!! PLEASE MENTION SERIAL NUMBER WHEN ORDERING. Serial number ensures you get the EXACT service manual for your Fisher! There are 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! Remember - These are the ONLY AUTHENTIC Fisher Kits - We have over 45 YEARS of Fisher experience. Professionally designed and engineered for easy installation - Don't be fooled by those who try to imitate us. Here is a tiny example of the comments we receive: "...You have given (as I'm sure you have generously done so many times before) the benefit of real-life, professional knowledge and experience together with the gift of thoughtfulness. It is a truly rare and much appreciated combination." and... "You have offered and provided a degree of care and attention rarely seen in business...the literature alone is worth the price!" YES! We try HARDER! We also have original volume controls and THOUSANDS of parts- inquire.
