Can anyone tell me what is the power output of the Fisher 400 vacuum tube stereo receiver?

It uses 7868 output tubes and was rated at 28 wpc (don't know comparable variables for comparison to today's specs). Most 7868 amps were rated between 25 and 30 wpc.

Here are some interesting sites I found:

One of the nice things about the 7868 tube is that it's nearly identical to the 7591a. The pinouts are different. With the EH 7591a available one could make a relatively easy swap to the new 7591's and not have to deal with outrageous 7868 prices should the need for new power tubes occur. Some people favor the 400 over the flagship 500C because of its less complex design. Cheaper too. I've got 3 500C's and they totally humble my modern stuff. Save our history-go vintage!
