In Reply to: Fisher 500C, Miracord 10H, and University 312's in DIY enclosures... posted by Jim Treanor on November 29, 2015 at 09:19:45:
Years ago I was working with a gentleman who at the time was in his mid 60's. He related how he used to be a audiophile, and how hearing loss turned his interest to photography. He then told me that I could have his Fisher 500c and a Benjamin Miracord 10H that he had purchased from the bx/px in 1964 while serving in the Air Force. The 500c suffered a small nick in the upper left corner of the face plate after surviving a 6 foot fall as a result of the 1964 Alaskan earthquake.
I accepted his generous gift and after some research I decided to buy a rebuild kit from the late Charlie Kittelson (Vacuum Tube Valley), as well as a Pickering cartridge. I was floored! It absolutely destroyed my Adcom separates in every quantifiable way.
This for me was the gateway drug to the joys (and sometimes misery) of vacuum tubes.
I still have both pieces and while the 10H has been long retired, the 500c still sees action in a secondary system.
