I picked up an old Fisher console in really nice condition, unfortunately,
it doesn't power up. It has all the original tubes in it (Mullards and
Tele's with most of them stamped "THE FISHER" on it). Could anyone


suggest


where I could get these tubes tested. I'm in Philadelphia. Thank you


very


much for looking.

Hi Louis - it's most likely not the tubes.




True, if you find a blown power supply fuse, that would likely mean that
the power supply electroltic filter caps are bad, and or the coupling caps
in the audio amp stages are bad (causing the tubes to draw too much
current). In any event, all these caps should be replaced, just like one
replaces parts in an overhaul of a car.
