Fisher 80T tube tuner.
As pictured. Probably the best documented 80T on the planet, with all manuals and documentation dating back to 1956!
The power plug is proprietary (see bottom of last picture) and appears to require a power supply (or somebody more adventuresome/ knowledgeable than myself!). Thus, it is being sold "Untested, As-Is". However, I acquired it from an estate sale along with a Fisher 80AZ mono block amp that is listed separately and works flawlessly, so there is reason for cautious optimism.
Your order will be well packed, and shipped promptly,although local pickup is encouraged. I live in suburban Portland, Oregon.
In the event of a problem, please reach out to me via eBay'smessaging system. Problems are few, and I'm very pro-active about solving anythat might crop up. Any negative feedback I've ever received came from a personwho didn't first contact me, then failed to respond back when I attempted toget clarity on the issue. I'm in my 60's and trying to scale my eBay efforts toeventually provide a good retirement income. So I'm in this for the long haul--and know that the only way to grow is by being as enthusiastic about customerservice as I am about vintage audio.
Please examine the pictures carefully. They are part of thedescription.
Due to the age of this device and the uncertain nature ofvintage electronics, this equipment is being sold AS IS with no returns oradjustments. This is NOT a new component.As such, it does not come with any guarantee-- implied or written.Vintage audio equipment is sensitive and does not travel particularly well. Soin rare instances, that which was working 100% at my house may requireadjustment or servicing before working equally well at yours. Most on-linesales of vintage electronics happen under these exact same conditions—but Ijust wanted to point this out so there are no misunderstandings ordisappointments.
I can ship ONLY to your eBay-listed address. If you want itsent elsewhere, you will (prior to purchase), need to go into your settings andchange your address—at least temporarily. Generally, I send domestic orders viaFedEx. If the order value is over $100, I provide the insurance. But here's thething: Insured FedEx packages sent through eBay MUST be signed for by SOMEBODYat the recipients address. Severaltimes, I've contacted FedEx on a buyer's behalf after three failed deliveries,requesting that a buyer be permitted to pick up the package at a nearby FedExlocation. Spoiler Alert: They will NOT allow this. It is apparently part of theagreement between eBay and FedEx involving insured packages for which the labelis purchased through eBay. If this happens, the package will eventually bereturned to me, whereupon I will resend it only after being reimbursed by thebuyer for the second label. If you wish to cancel at that point, all costs I'veincurred incidental to the failed shipment will be deducted from any eventualrefund.
International Buyers:I often get questions along the lines of “do you ship to Kazakhstan, andhow much?” I ship anywhere that e-Bay's International shipping permits. Most ofthe time, residents of a given country can get that information by clicking the“Shipping and Payments” tab more easily and accurately than I can. If shippinginformation cannot be found there, the item likely cannot be shipped to yourcountry via any eBay-associated carriers. Yes, given the weight and dimensionsof this item, International shipping will doubtlessly be quite expensive. But pleaseunderstand: I simply clicked a box making this available to Internationalbuyers. I do not set shipping rates, can't change them, and do not profit fromthem in any way. I would not be agreeable to a deep discount to help you defraythe cost of shipping. In some cases, afreight forwarding service might make more sense for you. Here are a couplethat my International customers have successfully used in the past boutiques and have agood reputation: Nippon Express USA or U.S. Expediters. Both are located in SanPedro, CA. Contact info is available on-line. eBay will not let me provide thathere. Due to differences in electrical current and so forth, this item is notguaranteed to work outside the US, and if shipped overseas, is sold strictlyAS-IS.
Your bidding/buying constitutes acceptance. Payment must bereceived within 48 hours, or eBay will automatically open an Unpaid Item Caseagainst you, which negatively affects your account.
Zero or low feedback buyers/ bidders (particularly non-USones) should message me prior to purchasing or bidding on any item ofsignificant value. If you don't, I reserve the right to arbitrarily cancel suchbids or orders (unless payment is tendered within a few hours of purchase).
Sorry for all the “disclaimer” stuff, but to quote theFarmer's Insurance guy, “I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing ortwo”. I'm looking forward to doing business with you and earning more of it inthe future. I absolutely LOVE this stuff, and you will find me to be areasonable, fair-minded person to deal with.
