    Pionner SX-1010 Trips Relay Once After Sitting for 2 Days.

    Hi everyone, I have a mostly restored pioneer SX-1010. All the caps have been replaced and about 80% of the transistors have been replaced. My guess is that my issue stems from an old transistor. When I use my pioneer consistently it is completely fine and sounds fantastic. If I let the unit sit...

    A $9200 receiver? Really?

    Maybe it's me, but I have a hard time believing that this re,ceiver is going to sell for this price. Plus a $200 shipping cost on top of it? I've seen these posted for $3k and thought that was outrageous! I sold a nice 8" feild telescope on eBay and I shipped it from AZ to WV and it cost me...

    Pioneer sx 3600 eletronics replacements.

    Good day everyone! This is my second time asking for guidance on the forum, and I hope you all can help me to some degree. My pioneer sx 3600 receiver is having problems. The phono left channel is dead, and my mono switch is broken. I suppose the problem lies on some capacitor or resistor...

    Cleaning SX-1250 RCA Connector Question

    Hi Everyone, Been loving my newly acquired SX-1250 and want to clean the RCA connectors. There is something on the outside of the RCA connectors. I used very fine steel wool along with DeoxIT to clean the metal "jumpers" to get what looked like rust off of them. Don't know if it's dust that...

    SX-980 Tuner issues after having fixed a PS issue. It's a long story...

    Hi everybody, This receiver was probably the second or third SX-x(x)80 vintage receiver I bought and restored. It developed a Power Supply issue at some point (This was in 2003 or thereabouts and UPS seemed to live to destroy vintage receivers, this was one of them) so I put it in my "someday"...

    Odd volume issue

    I have a SX-737 which seems fine but for one issue. If you turn the volume down low the right channel drops out. If you slowly turn the volume up the right channel comes back on. This is experienced regardless of what input (fm,phono,aux) is selected. Switches appear functional and there is no...

    Pioneer SX727 Preamp issue....

    Hi! I recently acquired a very clean SX727, really beautiful and with a nice soft sound. The previous owener had lovingly "restored" it but not really touched or adjusted it technically, reading between the lines. The SX727 sounds good, but as is so often, one channel is much stronger and...

    Is the Pioneer SX-1250 warmer than the SX-850

    Hey Hey Hey! I currently own an SX-850 and like it. I notice the SX-1250 giver a few more options on the tone controls. I do not need the power for my current listening set up, and i'm aware the purist leave their tone controls set at flat. My room needs more than flat controls. Can anyone...

    Pioneer LX-880

    I just picked up a Pioneer LX-880 in pretty nice shape. Everything works and it sounds very nice on FM but nothing on AM on either setting even with an antenna. Is there a trick to this? I did see a past post on AK from 2008 with nice pictures and specs but Not much info on what its worth. any...

    PLEASE HELP - Vintage Pioneer A-9 Amp needs repair!

    A very long time ago (1981) I purchased a brand-new Pioneer A-9 amp and it's held up well over the years. Lately however output from the right channel has been taking longer and longer to come up... a "warm up" issue I'm sure. As part of the first high-quality sound system I ever owned (A-9...
