sx-1010

I've got a Pioneer SX-1010 that's been restored, and both the outside and inside are in near-perfect condition. On the inside, the tuner cover has a couple of light scratches that I would like to remove. I've thought of buffing them out with some polish or filling them in with some automotive...

Hi, I need to have my volume potentiometer for my SX-1010 rebuilt. I have gone down the faderlube route already, but this pot really needs to be disassembled and rebuilt. I was wondering if there is a shop or someone I can send the potentiometer to have it rebuilt? Any help would be greatly...

Hi, I have been chasing an issue on my Pioneer SX-1010 for about a year. I have posted about it a couple of times; now and then, it will randomly jump into protect mode for 2 seconds and jump out. I have observed this issue for a year and can confidently say there is no pattern. It might not...

Hi AK, This is my first post on here and I have to thank you all for all the valuable information on here. Such an amazing community. Without it, I would never think of taking on a project like this since this is not my field. I picked up a Pioneer SX-1010 a couple of months ago. I live in...

May have the opportunity to trade my up to spec pioneer sx-1010 for a dynaco pas3, st 70, and an fm-3 plus a little cash on my end I could really care less on the tuner. So that’s not a plus to me in anyway. But I have been very curious of tube separates lately. I’m running Cornwalls with the sx...

Hello all, I am finishing up a rebuild of my SX-1010 and only have the tuner board left to work on. I have noticed that it is tethered down by its wire wrap connections on nearly every side. I have had success with desoldering select wirewrap posts from the other boards to gain access. However...

I am helping on an SX-1010 problem with the High Filter lamp being illuminated slightly when the switch is off. While perusing the very complicated Dim / Bright and High Filter switches' connections I came across an anomaly in the schematic. The common side of the Low Filter, High Filter, AF...

Howdy! Is anyone out there using the phono input on a Yamaha AVS-700 Natural Sound AV Selector? I ran out of inputs on a Pioneer SX-1010 and grew tired of the dirty selector buttons and signal loss. Lucked-out finding a Yamaha AVS-700. I run its fixed stereo outputs to the Tape 2 input on the...

Project Pioneer: SX-1010 In my neverending quest for 70s silver face bliss, the adventure continues. There was a post in BT for a somewhat local unloved Pioneer SX-1010 with more than a few operational & cosmetic issues. This was my first purchase off BT since my status was updated to...

I have an 828 (and 2500, 990) and really like the sound. Just wondering if I'd notice any difference in the sound of a 1010? Initially, I had wanted a 1010, but decided to pick up an 828 since they are half the price of a 1010. Have not been disapointed with the 828, but did I miss anything...

Hello all, I was attempting to replace the output transistors in my 1010, took a pic before I removed them but alas the pic has disappeared :( Can someone advise me of the order of the output transistors? For simplicity, if I'm facing the back of the receiver from left to right? Many thanks...

1974 Pioneer SX-1010

Hi all, I received a Pioneer SX-1010 with a number of issues. The core issue though is that one channel is very low but this is intermittent. 90% of the time, its low! I have Deoxed all switches and controls and even changed out the volume pot with no change. I have also tested as unit as...

Somebody in another thread identified the SX-1010 power supply as a cause of global warming. A fair comment! It seems that every SX-1010 has a broiler built into the power supply. When it comes to trouble-shooting &/or refurbishing the SX-1010, the power supply is at the top of the list...

Hey fine people of the Adiokarma community, I’m rather new at this, but picked up a non-working SX-1010 and decided (based on all the stellar reviews of this unit) that I’d try to figure out if I could get it working to be my home daily driver (I’ve recently caught the vintage audio bug). I...

hi guys im currently trying to find out if im going down the right path I own an sx 1010 after a cap went on the power board im having trouble finding all affected areas of the receiver. So from what I can figure is I have a direct short on the left high output transistors (bank in heat sink...

I've visited this site many times and thought it was time to join. I was into stereo equipment in the middle 1970s and find myself being drawn back into it today. My current challenge is a Pioneer SX-1010. Chuck S.
