I dunno, but I had a Fisher 500C in the '70's that my Dad bought in the '60's. I thought it was great, "by the standards of the time".

Of course it's like buying a 50 y.o. car, now. I'd actually search for someone who refurbs-repairs those before buying one......

As to which, I don't know the 800, but I'd put both on my list, & buy whichever comes up that's the nicest, at a fair price.....

David - it concerns us at HIONFI that you would publicly make a statement about our tech not remembering what he did to a specific unit. Upon hearing that you did not get the info you needed we emailed you to try and answer any additional questions or concerns you may have had. We strive to make customer service a priority, your comments in a forum like this without telling the whole story can be harmful to a reputable shop and technician. Please feel free to call us.
Thanks, we are sure you would enjoy the 500.
