    Capacitor list for a Pioneer SX-50?

    I'm thinking about doing a total recap on my 1983 Pioneer SX-50 in the near future. Would anyone here be kind enough to possibly share a list of capacitors needed for this receiver? I could just crack mine open and list out the caps, but I figured I'd take the simple route first. :)

    Project: Pioneer SX-750

    Was talking with a co-worked who has taken possession of a family member's collection of vinyl and is looking for stereo setup. Was considering offering the SX-850 that I just finished, then I spied a 'rough' SX-750 for sale. My preference is SX-850 and up... but the SX-750 that I rebuilt a...

    Project: Pioneer SX-3800

    Few weeks back, I stumbled on a local Fluoroscan. It was non-working and was concerned that the outputs many have been blown (from what I read). Though not the top of the heap SX-3900, the SX-3800 boasts 60 WPC (not too shabby). Here is how she arrived. It would not pass the DBT... so here...

    Hi all Sorry for my poor English. I am just exploring this new hobby. I want to give some new life to my Celestion ditton 15XR speakers and learn something in the proces. The sound of the tweeter is harsh. Soft music like piano is good, but Queen for example is a audiophile mess. The human...

    Luxman L-3 recapping/restoration

    I recently bought a Luxman L-3 for a good price, without knowing anything else from the seller other than “untested, but it powers up”. Good enough for me! For a cheap price, it was worth the risk of getting an irrecoverable amp. The amp looked dirty but well kept, so I went for it. This will be...

    Had a few extra days off tied to this weekend & looking for a vintage rig to gift to a co-worker. Lo and behold there popped up a non-working SX-626. The pictures showed the pre-amp jumpers missing, so I thought this unit might just need some refreshed components. At pickup the previous...
