    Pioneer SX-1980 Exterior Restoration

    A while back I finally bit the bullet and bought a Pioneer SX-1980 off ePray for too much money. It was sold as not working--for parts but "powers on". Which was fine with me. It showed up a bit later in far worse shape than the epray pictures. It was packed in a box the same size as the...

    Looks like I'll be picking up a Pioneer PL 516 to add to the collection (and the 70's Pioneer stack - SA-8100 amp, RT-1020L R2R with Celestion D-332 speakers). It's a silver edition that after having read a number of other user threads, I am seriously considering stripping the silver off and...

    Pioneer SX-590 DC Offset

    Hi all, I have recently acquired a SX-590 receiver which I would like to restore and put back to use. The unit lights up and the VU meters move etc but I have a very high DC offset of around 28.2VDC. I have checked through the boards for dry solder joints etc. I have also replaced the suspect...

    Dual Purpose Speaker Stands / Record Storage Suggestions

    I'm looking to see what options are out there for dual purpose speaker stands/record storage. I was able to find these Wharfedale Linton stands, but $500 is more than I'm wanting to spend on my relatively simple system. Speakers are Pioneer S-910s and weigh about 50 lbs. Record storage is just a...

    Pioneer SA-8500 II vs Sansui AU-7900

    Currently have a SA-8500 II with the matching tuner running my main system. Overall I'm very happy with it, but recently a Sansui AU-7900 with the matching tuner has come up for sale locally to me. Looking at the specs it has 80 WPC vs 60 WPC from my Pioneer, and seems to be well regarded...

    HPM 200 woofer replacement

    I was given an HPM 200 but with missing woofers. i understand that it is almost impossible to get hold of those. But just to make the speakers work, is there any other woofer model that would fit perfectly to it?

    I am looking at a busted PL-600 that I can possibly repair, or a working PL-500 for about double for my first TT. Both are the old silver ones (the good ones). Not sure what the differences are, or how easy it would be to repair a platter/arm that isn't moving. I have repaired plenty of...

    A friend gave me an SX 626. It’s a newer model with the tuner gang that’s part of the tuner board. Not like the older ones where the tuner gang was separate. I went through it and recapped it and cleaned it up. The aux , tape and phono all work great. I have no radio. No AM or FM. I...

    SX-737 "for parts" resurrection

    My first Pioneer receiver. According to my own rule of thumb - the worse the better - I bought a damaged sx737, missing parts, but new veneer on cabinet. Looked like my tech friend tried to give it a chance, but resigned. This whole resto work was economically unjustified mif you count labor...
