Fisher FM-1000
and FMR-1 Broadcast Monitor Tuner Resto-Pak Restoration Kit!
Here it is. FINALLY! Requests for this kit have been POURING in for some time. We have
had a kit for the FM-1000
Stereo Tuner and its identical twin the rack mounted FMR-1 for
years and are finally now offering it on your favorite site where we all seem
to find everything including the impossible.
This is the VERY BEST Fisher FM-1000 FMR-1 vacuum
tube tuner restoration kit with FULL COLOR PHOTOS that money can buy.
Does your FM multiplex stereo sound
weakish and out of phase??
Time to change that old, tired Selenium
Rectifier?
Is Oscar Peterson getting tinny
sounding?
Is your tuner just not sounding
"right"??
You NEED a Fisher RESTO-PAK NOW!
This is the affordable next best thing to a professional
hands on Restoration by the "Doc" as These kits were custom designed
by him
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!
DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED! Tuner restoration is NOT the terrible chore one may think it
is. This kit provides the BASIC FOUNDATION for good tuner operation and is
EXTREMELY beneficial for any tuner that is mostly functional and in need of
being refreshed and upgraded.
At this point in time, all vintage audio gear regardless of
manufacture would benefit from some type of upgrading, and certainly a checkup
before use is a definite requirement for safety and performance reasons. All
models have their specific overhaul guidelines.
As these tube sets age, ALL of the small electrolytics
develope some leakage and other age related problems. The original mylar signal
caps are now fragile and leaky after 40++ years of heat and torture.
Our RESTO-PAKS contain
the finest quality modern replacement components available today. Included
are ALL required resistors and small electrolytic
capacitors as well as ALL signal and coupling capacitors that normally fail. Your tired old selenium rectifier will be replaced
with a New super heavy duty silicon full wave power supply. VERY detailed instructions are included. Your
tuner will SPRING to life! Approximately 38 individual components
are included for installation/replacement! Yes it will take
some time, however, it is a very thorough process.
Also included are the very important specific resistors
and parts required to correct the FM
De-emphasis. FM De-emphasis, which directly determines the degree of high
frequencies the tuner will reproduce, is 75us
(microseconds) which has always been the North American standard.
ALL Fisher MULTIPLEX stereo tube receivers and
tuners employ excessive De-emphasis and are therefore NOT accurately
de-emphasizing the FM audio. The result is
a loss of natural highs due to the attenuation of the audio high frequency
response in Mono and Stereo.
Once corrected (a simple change of a few components which are
included in EVERY RESTO-PAK) the result is astounding. In fact, we include 1%
precision resistors for this application to ensure that extremely accurate
De-emphasis is achieved and maintained.
Europe and most other areas of the world use a de-emphasis of
50us. We can modify
the Resto-Pak for the European Standard of 50us at no extra charge!
Advanced, high value output coupling capacitors are provided
which will greatly
enhance low frequency coupling to ANY preamp and enable use with a solid state
preamp without the usual loss of bass frequencies.
The FM-1000 FMR-1 is a top notch tube tuner, the best ever
made. It is a top of the line instrument meant for the serious audio
connoisseur. Its legendary performance is well known among knowledgeable
collectors. This will be a VERY rewarding project for you and your tuner!
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).
This procedure allows the rebuilder to correct all weak spots
in the unit. All capacitors, resistors, and other parts that must be changed in
the entire set are CLEARLYnoted
in the manuals. In all you will be changing over 35 components!
We are now including with this fine kit FULL COLOR PHOTOS of critical areas to assisit in the restoration process.
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 information and provide
upgrades that will make an astounding improvement in the performance of your
fine Fisher!
