    Pioneer SX1250 Troubleshooting

    I am a newbie to the forum. Great forum it is. I pulled my SX 1250 out of 20 years of storage. I tried to turn it on and it would not power up because the 12A fuse was blown. I replaced the fuse, switched it on and it “popped”. There are no speakers attached so the pop came from within. It’s...

    SX-1250 Volume Pot Help

    While bringing an SX-1250 back from the dead and restoring it, I’ve discovered that someone replaced the original volume potentiometer at some point.
