Fisher 100-T Project

[thornev]

Hi All,

I just today was granted access. After having restored/modified a few Fishers, I now have a 100-T which is in incredible condition. It was very dirty. I cleaned it up, glass and all, replaced incandescent dial bulbs with soft white LEDs, replaced the selenium rectifier with a silicon one, have ordered new cap cans, and then will get into finding out what is causing the loud hum when powered up. Probably one of the cap cans most likely the filters.

If anyone else has restored a 100-T, please identify yourself so I can reach out for help (obviously don't if you're not in a consultant mood). I have restored Fishers, Scott, Peavey and Fender so I can return the favor. I'm self-taught (3 years into it) so I'm still always learning. I have a set of manuals and plan to add FM stereo to my 100-T (after I obtain an MPX board and a wideband ratio detector IF transformer). Anyone know from where I can get an FM multiplex board like the Fisher KM-60? I've read that none of the Fisher MPX units will work without major surgery which I don't know.

So that's it for now. I do 99% of my communication on the Audiokarma (AK) forum, Fisher thread. I don't plan to duplicate all my AK posts here so hop on over there if you want to follow my 100-T project. I'll be glad to help out on these VK forums when I can.
