this photo from the article shows the summation of the wars, look at the size of these beasts

My 1st ’real’ audio system included Fisher’s 220T Receiver, got it in 1967

We had $500. wedding money, went to Sam Goody’s, got this Receiver and Audio Research AR-2ax speakers and a TT of some sort.

Ransacked, Speakers Stolen, ’missed most’ discussion here, I restored 2 pairs, one in my office. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a true bookshelf speaker

 

 

My Garage/Shop system was driven by this wonderful Tandberg 2080. my friend Wayne at Harvey's told me when it was hitting the used shelf.

 

 

The connectors in the back pulled out, mostly my fault tugging in tight space.

 

 

3 more receivers I had over the years.

Yamaha CR-1020, Receiver currently in Garage/Shop System

 

Fisher 500C Tube Receiver (ready for sale) (VAS has 2nd one to align the tuner).

I traded something for the 2nd one, can't remember what.

 

Fisher 800C, sometimes called the Executive (500C with AM tuner added).

I bought a whole console just to get the receiver, and some nice firewood.

I traded it to a member here for his Vertical TT Project: combine two non-working Mitsubish LT-5V to one working unit which went well, now in my office
