Do you think they meant Pioneer?

Heee heee... yes, I would say that what was meant was "Pioneer"

What model pioneer is that? 727?

I'm 100% sure they typed 'Planar' and autocorrect fixed it.

Here we are, found an old ad for one: http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/185199-electrohome_planar_sr2040_receiver/

Good detective work Fragger. I knew it wasn't a Pioneer but I just couldn't guess the right answer. Never really heard of Planar. Is this a discontinued brand from Electrohome?

Wow, I had never heard of Planar before...it's downright uncanny how similar they look, sort of a "invasion of the body snatchers" vibeara:.

There's just enough off that more detailed photos would show it's not pioneer. The ones from that canuckaudio sale are interesting...the face screams pioneer, the internal layouts are very similar, but the boards are almost panasonic-looking.

Pretty handsome unit, though i'm biased
