The 500B is notorious for the volume control not tracking properly and power switch problems. I've replaced many of them!
Fisher 500B Questions
I have a 500B that performs overall very well, but has two issues I would like to correct if not too difficult.
-The on/off/volume control only works in the volume mode; apparently not too uncommon on this receiver; I have seen the on/off switch on E-Bay for about $20 that apparently installs on the back of the volume pot; anyone ever install one of these?
-The right channel is louder than the left causing me to put the balance control at around the 9:30 position resulting in a little loss of overall output. I tried tube swapping to no avail; could this issue be tied to the volume control knob?
Thanks,
Mark
