Pioneer Rack System

You better go fast and delete this thread promptly, that's 15 mins from an associate of mine who buys and trucks for me. In other words hurry!:yes:
 
You know what, it's all yours! I don't think I have room in my car and two trips would be 6 hours total. My wife is due any day now so long trips are unfortunately out of the question. Let me know how it sounds!
 
Yes, it's worth it - providing everything is in working order. But there's nothing like one of those vintage systems to fiddle around with. And it'll probably be surprisingly good sounding as well.
 
Truly, i would rather see an AKer looking for a TOTL system get it.

I'd only be in it for the "flip", and there's a lotta flip potential there. Just the rack and 2 pair of rack handles are worth a good portion of the BIN.

FWIW, i'm not a flipper in practice, but that lot offers a great opportunity to make some cash, or have a coveted and lusted after system.

Somebody go get that bad boy!

On the off chance that it's still for sale this evening, watch for it all on ebay one piece at a time after xmas................................. no, no i don't think i can be the one to break that system up, look the guy even kept the manuals in a binder.

That gear has been loved most if not all of it's life.

C'mon folks, i wanna see pics of those racks side by side in an AKer's listening room........................ somebody get it already!

I'm a newbie to this stuff... Could someone give a quick overview of why the SPEC stuff is desired? How tall are those racks? Would someone realistically use the majority of that gear? The price doesn't seem bad considering the prices I have seen for other vintage gear.
 
I definitely plan to keep (and restore) several of these pieces. I have wanted a SPEC system for years now. Once finished I will be able to have a shootout between Pioneer SPEC1/4, Sansui BA/CA3000, and Kenwood 700C/M - I will post my results (sit back and watch the fireworks :) )

Glad to see you get it, sorry the timing might not be the best for you.

I suspect since it's been one owner gear, it's always been loved and it's physical condition will be far above average................ you already know the rest of the story.:thmbsp:
 
AWESOME!!!

I have the 700M/C/600T and I am looking to restore (not myself) a Marantz 300DC/3650/1230 system. My dream is to get a Sansui BA/CA 3000 and TU9900 and do a shoot out.
I am really curious to her what your impressions will be after the shootout.
 
I will be driving down to get this stuff this weekend with my fingers crossed and an 8-month-pregnant wife riding shotgun. I will post pics when I return!
 
Congratulations on getting a real "dream system" for a rare low price! :thmbsp:

Fingers crossed that your wife makes the round trip without any "emergency". Either way, though, you've just picked up a legacy item for the child, and a story you'll be telling him/her in years to come. Two new "babies" within weeks of each other... you're a lucky guy! :yes:
