Here's the rest.

I've always wondered why they built the vented area up higher than the wood
case. The only reason I can imagine is to make the grill more sturdy and
less likely to bend.

Looking good, hope it sounds as good as it looks!

Maybe the vent was higher to stop owners putting things on top, causing
things to overheat?

I've never seen one of those with that taller screen. Perhaps it's an aftermarket
one?


"For the guys who have the largest of Fishers integrated amps and tuner, a cabinet is
avaialble, the one shown has a larger screen opening to have the transformer and the
after market tall tubes fit with no problem. Normally made in a high grade walnut
veneer, it can be ordered with your choice of veneers, front wood trim and screen
size: normal for standard NOS tubes, large for tall after market tubes."

Note the one pictured actually has the normal screen, not the raised one that the
description talks of.

Naw, you'd have to see it up close to realize that it's the real McCoy.
The grill's been with the tuner as long as I've owned it, which is over 25
years,
and the guy that owned it lived up in the Far North (really), and bought it
all mail-order Back In The Day from some big New York Fisher dealer.

As to Brian's comment, believe it or not, I have never plugged it in, ever.
Not once. I suppose I could, but IIRC there is some selenium device in
there, and with my luck it would go "poof" before my eyes.

No, I leave that for the next buyer. It goes "on the block" very soon.

Again I've never seen an FM-1000 with a raised screen like yours. Even the service
manual shows the standard recessed screen.

I actually think the raised screen is a good idea. Prevents people from
piling stuff on top of the cabinet and interfering with ventilation. My 400
and 800-B both have the normal flat screens.

Hadn't thought of it. Not sure why I would...? I've never seen anything
like a high-end audio tuner listed there.

Just don't make a habit of it
There's lots of 'crossover' audio guys watching rar+p. Ya never know.
The ad could get lost in the clutter on some of the audio venues.

Well, OK, if you folks insist...

Now to figure out what to ask. There haven't been any on ebay in ages, the
only one I can even remember had a BIN of $2500 and didn't sell, IIRC.

Mine is pretty well perfect. I finally actually hooked it up, and it plays
beautifully. I suppose that's why I'm dragging my feet, I've had it all
this time (30 years, I think) and have NEVER used it until yesterday. Man,
is it nice...
