HUNDREDS of our kits have beeninstalled worldwide for over 15 YEARS andthese happy Fishers are still happily singing!DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED! Tuner restoration is NOT the terrible chore one may think itis. This kit provides the BASIC FOUNDATION for good tuner operation and isEXTREMELY beneficial for any tuner that is mostly functional and in need ofbeing refreshed and upgraded.At this point in time, all vintage audio gear regardless ofmanufacture would benefit from some type of upgrading, and certainly a checkupbefore use is a definite requirement for safety and performance reasons. Allmodels have their specific overhaul guidelines.As these tube sets age, ALL of the small electrolyticsdevelope some leakage and other age related problems. The original mylar signalcaps are now fragile and leaky after 40++ years of heat and torture.Our RESTO-PAKS containthe finest quality modern replacement components available today. Includedare ALL required resistors and small electrolyticcapacitors as well as ALL signal and coupling capacitors that normally fail. Your tired old selenium rectifier will be replacedwith a New super heavy duty silicon full wave power supply. VERY detailed instructions are included. Yourtuner will SPRING to life! Approximately 38 individual componentsare included for installation/replacement! Yes it will takesome time, however, it is a very thorough process. Also included are the very important specific resistorsand parts required to correct the FMDe-emphasis. FM De-emphasis, which directly determines the degree of highfrequencies the tuner will reproduce, is 75us(microseconds) which has always been the North American standard.ALL Fisher MULTIPLEX stereo tube receivers andtuners employ excessive De-emphasis and are therefore NOT accuratelyde-emphasizing the FM audio. The result isa loss of natural highs due to the attenuation of the audio high frequencyresponse in Mono and Stereo.Once corrected (a simple change of a few components which areincluded in EVERY RESTO-PAK) the result is astounding. In fact, we include 1%precision resistors for this application to ensure that extremely accurateDe-emphasis is achieved and maintained.Europe and most other areas of the world use a de-emphasis of50us. We can modifythe Resto-Pak for the European Standard of 50us at no extra charge!Advanced, high value output coupling capacitors are providedwhich will greatlyenhance low frequency coupling to ANY preamp and enable use with a solid statepreamp without the usual loss of bass frequencies.The FM-1000 FMR-1 is a top notch tube tuner, the best evermade. It is a top of the line instrument meant for the serious audioconnoisseur. Its legendary performance is well known among knowledgeablecollectors. This will be a VERY rewarding project for you and your tuner!Our package includes a nice enlarged copy of the originalowners manual, the CORRECT service manual for your specificunit (determined by the serial number), and our detailed restoration procedurecovering everything except alignment (which is covered in the service manual, however, test equipment is needed).This procedure allows the rebuilder to correct all weak spotsin the unit.
