Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:7032609 | Model: X-101-C |
| Brand: Fisher | MPN: Does Not Apply |
Up for sale is a vintage Fisher X-101-C that I purchased with several items out of an estate sale. The unit is in very nice cosmetic shape and includes a full set of tubes. Included is its beautiful wood case which shows very well (The case could probably be sold for $250 but I think the buyer should have a complete unit with the case so I am including it).Here is an excellent forum post on this unit: https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/fisher-x-101-c.270011/ I brought the ...unit up slowly on my variac and installed it in my reference system powered by a Marantz 8B and the unit performed flawlessly. If it were me I would run the unit as is until is showed that it needed a restoration. No guarantees of course given the age but a video of the unit is attached. The unit presents very well with minor wear & tear, the flip down panel is very cool, the cabinet has minor flaws and will be oiled before shipping. The knobs on the right are missing the brass covers (I saw some inexpensive ones here on ebay that should work, search "Fisher knobs"), other than that she’s in very good shapeThe unit was owned by a store owner who was an avid audiophile with a massive collection so it was well preserved so I am not surprised that it powered on easily and sounds great. I purchased this unit along with many other vintage audiophile quality pieces which I will be listing over the coming weeks (and of course I kept a few special pieces for my personal collection). This unit came out of the estate of the owner of the Schaeffer Camera Company in Newark, New Jersey. I googled the store and it appears to be long gone and there is not much information on the internet but the company that handled the estate sale says that it was a prominent store in the metro-New York area selling high end electronics including cameras, turntables, speakers, amps and electronics. When the store went out of business the owner took the most valuable pieces home where they have been stored for the last several decades. Open to respectful offers, Good Luck!!!!
