Description
Up for sale is an original factory outer cabinet removed from a Fisher 800T receiver, the top-of-the-line Fisher model from the early 1970s. This is the correct factory cabinet , designed specifically for the 800T , but it will likely also fit the equally sought-after Fisher 500TX . Made in the USA by Fisher before the company was sold , this cabinet is constructed from typical materials of the era and finished in an outer simulated wood grain veneer . The front face appears to be solid wood , likely for added durability and structure. For its age, this cabinet presents very well with minimal wear , but it does have some notable flaws. There is a tiny separation area on the front right-hand corner , along with a small crease or scratch near the rear screen vent . On the far left-hand rear corner , there is a ding at the very top , which has slightly lifted the vinyl veneer . This flaw is relatively hard to see and is not very noticeable under normal viewing conditions . Otherwise, the cabinet is straight, solid, and in good overall condition , as seen in the photos. If you own a Fisher 800T and need the correct factory-original cabinet, this is a rare opportunity. These cabinets are hard to find , especially in good, original condition, since many were separated from their receivers over the years. This one was removed directly from an 800T , making it a perfect fit for collectors or restorers looking to complete their setup. Condition: This Fisher 800T cabinet is in very good vintage condition with some wear. The simulated wood grain veneer is in nice shape overall , with a tiny separation area on the front right corner , a small crease or scratch near the rear screen vent , and a ding on the far left-hand rear corner that has caused slight veneer lifting . Under normal viewing conditions, these flaws are not very noticeable , and the cabinet still presents well . Structurally, it is solid and straight , with no major warping or damage . Shipping: Due to its size, this cabinet will be carefully double-boxed for guaranteed safe arrival . Shipping is a flat rate to the West Coast , but if you are on the East Coast within a few hundred miles of my zip code , feel free to send a message—I may be able to recalculate shipping costs . Otherwise, standard flat-rate shipping applies. Overseas buyers are welcome via the eBay Global Shipping Program.
