The amp will be inside the original box with a carefully constructed shell and second carton surrounding it. I've worked shipping art and antiques in New York City for the past 20 years. I've shipped many many pieces like this. It will arrive to you safely. See the last sentence of the description for international shipping. Grab this one while you can!The following is an excerpt from a Stereophile Magazine Review of the 500-C from June 19th, 2005 Sound I placed the Fisher on Walker Audio cones for vibration control and wired in a set of banana-plug speaker-terminal adapters, available from WEAudio in Hong Kong (footnote 5). 1960s-vintage speaker lug terminals are narrow binding strips that predate today's fancy spades and bananas plugs. Also, the input jacks on the 500-C are so close together that it's a tight fit for exotic RCA plugs. Seek out cable brands that use standard size jacks. I've had success with Kimber KCAG, Nordost Red Dawn, and Acoustic Research. No matter how much I like music, I like the sound, too. What suits me best is a big, full-force dynamic-range system that can image and be delicate at the same time. I'm not satisfied unless a system can excel with both a willowy 16th-century motet and a Count Basie big band. I also demand neutrality, and, believe it or not, this vintage stuff delivers. I always thought the old stuff would sound overly colored or warm. However, the biggest surprise of vintage gear was finding that this was not so. I'm not an antique audio collector or an apologist for single-ended triodes (SETs). I coax great sound from solid-state and tubes. I would never go vintage because it's cool or hip. I'm gaga over vintage for the sound. I've auditioned many classic vintage amplifiers over the years. The Fisher 500-C is very special, with that rare ability to draw me into the sound and the music. It's in the same league as the first wave of SET all stars: Baby Ongaku (footnote 6) Wavelength Cardinal, Welborne Laurel, Komuro 845, and Wright Sound WPA 3.5. The Fisher's line stage is clear, concise, and crisp, though not as crystalline-pure as the Convergent Audio Technology Ultimate's. The Fisher's foremost sonic attribute is its uncanny ability to reproduce enormous spatial presence. It reproduces ambient air and natural reverberation better than all but a few, exceptionally priced pieces of audio art. "The Sunne Rising," from Paul Hillier and Nigel North's Rags of Time: 17th-Century Lute Songs (CD, Harmonia Mundi HMU 907257), offers one of the greatest spatial palettes I've heard in recorded sound. Hillier reads the poem, accompanied by lute, in what appears to be an old European cathedral. (It's actually the studio at Lucasfilm's Skywalker Ranch.) If you close your eyes tight, you can smell the stale air and renaissance odors. It's remarkable. The Fisher's dynamic range is explosive. Its bass is tight, punchy, and electrifying. It grabs you around the knees and rips your socks off. If your taste borders on the bizarre, spin the syncopated rhythms and cut and scratch samples of Bryn Jones' Muslimgauze (his later body of work). If you have the nerve to turn it up, "Marble Mosque," from Hummas (CD, Soleilmoon SOL 104CD), will test your speakers' low-octave abilities. The out-of-phase explosions of electronic ripping and shredding will grip you by the throat and leave you gasping for air. Jones' low-frequency effects are terrifying; when he combines them with startlingly sharp cymbal attacks scattered throughout your room, you'll stare in disbelief at this 40-year-old tube receiver. It's a lottery win for your ears. The 500-C's soundstage compares with anything out there, whether single-ended, push-pull, or solid-state. My test for this is Dick Hyman's Age of Swing (LP, Reference RR-59), a once-in-a-lifetime record that does everything right. The band is hot, and the sound is front-row center, the players set up in a virtual-reality semicircle inches from your face. It is the most enveloping recording in my collection, and my nÚmero uno desert-island LP. The Fisher retrieves the instrumental spatial cues perfectly and nails the images firmly in a realistic soundfield that's as close to live as a recording can be. The layers are exact, and the width extends beyond the speaker sides. The speakers "vanish." The Fisher's transient attacks are clear, and packed with harmonic overtones. Instrumental decay is somewhat better than leading-edge definition due to the masking effect of a subtle but voluptuous lower-midrange plumpness. This, an often good thing for early digital releases, is one of the few faults I hear in the 500-C, and is apparent only when the Fisher is tested against my reference Komuro Audio Labs 212 SET (footnote 7). Conclusions Why is the Fisher 500-C so magical? It does not have audiophile-approved parts. It has no resonance-control stuff or secret potted circuits. Nothing is cryogenically treated. It's built on a standard steel-plated chassis. With its active tone controls, it's the antithesis of the purist audio approach. I suspect its magic is based on good engineering, intelligent voicing, and high-quality transformers. I'll be first to tell you that the Fisher 500-C does not have the effortless headroom or bass extension of a Krell Full Power Balanced 600 (slight cost difference). It does not have the purity of tone or crystal-clear naturalness of the flea-powered (3.5W) Wright Sound WPA 3.5. However, it has more pace and drive than the Wright, and can mate with a greater number of speakers. The Fisher's 35Wpc is comparable to a Dynaco Stereo 70's, as is its second-hand price. I've lived with both, and I now own five 500-Cs and no Stereo 70s. The Dynaco is a very good amp, but it lacks that nth degree of palpable realism that the Fisher delivers in spades. The Fisher has a big, robust sound. Like an Islay single-malt whisky (footnote it's delicate but raucous and can kick some serious butt. It's detailed without being sterile, musical without being sappy. It's the "All of the above" box on the audiophile SAT. It's also remarkably affordable and a simple mouse click away. Avery Fisher's 500-C may unlock new worlds for the adventurous audio thrill-seeker or it may simply be an affordable solution for the summer home. It will definitely put some fun back into your listening obsession. Avery Fisher was right about those "unlimited years of musical enjoyment." The Fisher 500-C will blow apart your expectations of vintage audio. *** INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING *** I will ship this internationally but shipping cost will likely be high since the package will be large and can only be shipped with United States Postal Service Express Mail International. If cheaper shipping is possible I will refund the shipping difference to the buyer but I am pretty sure that International will cost between 300 and 400 dollars.

Kenwood 9G Vintage ReceiverFor sale is my Kenwood 9G receiver. This unit is in exceptionally nice condition. I would conservatively rate it a 7 out of 10 for appearance. The face is in extremely nice condition. The wood cabinet is also very nice with the only somewhat noticeable flaw being that at some point it sustained a small crack to the ventilation slats on top of the unit. It is one of those things where you have to do the head tilt to catch the light at the right angle to really notice it. I am very particular and I dont find this noticable unless your looking for it. I did my best to capture it in photo #11. Everything on this receiver is fully functional and works like you would expect it to. There is no noise on any of the controls or switches, all the meters work perfectly and last but not least it sounds amazing. I have extensively compared this to my Pioneer SX-1050 and this receiver gives up nothing to the Pioneer. I am quite sure if I was subjected to a blind test I would never be able to pick one over the other. The sound is really quite impressive. The other thing I need to mention is that at some point the power switch was change to a generic black toggle switch, see photo #7. This repair was obviously performed by someone who had the experience and took the time to do the job properly. The thin "lamp cord" power cable was also changed out to a heavy duty, three prong, grounded power cord. I do have the original and it will be included with the unit. It is very obvious that this piece of equipment has been extremely well taken care of and it shows in it's performance and condition. With 125 watts per channel this will be a great receiver for any vintage system or a great addition to any vintage "monster" receiver collection. This item will be securely packaged so it arrives to you in the same beautiful shape that it is in. Thanks for looking and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. The shipping cost is for the contiguous United States only. International bidders are welcome to bid as long as actual shipping cost and any related charges are paid for by the purchaser.

McIntosh L-19 slant-leg cabinet in nice condition this cabinet fits McIntosh MAC 1700 and MAC 1900 receivers,these cabinets were made from 1967 to 1975 and came in Walnut. These cabinets are rare and this unit is not perfect but nice. Please see pictures of actual cabinet for details.

Technics SA-5370 AM/FM Stereo Receiver This receiver is in good working condition. It produces a very nice sound typical of vintage units such as these. Has a pretty hefty transformer in it; unit weighs 25 pounds unpacked. It is rated at 53 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Sound is strong, equal, and consistent in both channels. Tuner lights, meter lights, and function lights all working. Meters are working well. Picks up FM stations nicely. You will notice that dial pointer is set to a local FM station 97.1; the tuning meter is centered, and the signal strength meter shows a good signal using just a wire dipole antenna. All the controls are working nicely with with no noise or static. Cosmetically the receiver looks pretty nice but show a little wear. The face has a few tiny nicks. The cabinet has some minor blemishes with a little edge wear on the bottom of the side panels. I always pack with care and shipping insurance is included at no additional cost. I have a copy of the instruction manual in .pdf available to the winning bidder upon request.
