Regarding size …

In the manual I find:

560(W) x 211(H) x 497(D) mm

Would you think that 497(D) mm includes the front knobs and the terminal gards on the back side?

Asked ChatGPT to render an image of a Pioneer SX-1980. Swing and a miss.

Hahaha – awesome!

Funny enough: I did use ChatGPT to help create the FM-/AM tuning scale

I created these posters in illustrator and had a hard time to find a good straight on shot but was able to make things work with some I found on google.

Good catch. Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out and great work on your illustration. Might be nice to add some slight drop shadow to your knobs as they look like push buttons and not ones you can turn.

Ah ya that's because the visuals from Etsy are old. Here is the latest version. Also I think the scale on the signal is accurate.
