Pioneer and Trio-Kenwood made tube receivers. Sony didn't make one or didn't offer one in the USA until the TA 1120 integrated of 1965, a silicon transistorized amplifier and the 1967 STR 6120 receiver, the best receiver Sony ever made. Are the Fisher 500C. 800C, or the HH Scott equivalent any harder to repair than a Pioneer or Trio-Kenwood or Sansui tube equivalent model?. I suspect no worse once you understand their quirks and differences, which is the USA tube equivalent.
