Pioneer Stack, Good Price

Hello all -

First post here as I look to get into vintage audio. The stack linked below brings me back to my youth, as my best friend's father had each of these components and more. I'd like to pick these up, but not sure if they are priced fairly. Here is the link - https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2169666656471480/

For those without a FB account, here is what's being offered. Cosmetic condition looks excellent.

Pioneer Stereo Equipment - Complete set only. $450 Firm.

-DT-540 Audio Digital Timer
-SR-9 Reverberation Amplifier
-RG-9 RD Dynamic Processor
-SG-9 Graphic Equalizer

Looks like I'd still need a tuner. Thoughts on this? Thanks!

That's pretty much a pile of all the stuff you don't need in a stereo. The only component that could possibly be of any use is the equalizer, and I wouldn't get one of those unless you absolutely need it.
 
Thanks, guys. Good to know and assumed the price was high given what's being offered. I have a Technics SA-400 on the way from Shop Goodwill, so will get started either way! I asked a question on Reddit about speakers to pair with this receiver for jazz, classical and rock, and I received a couple of suggestions for Klipsch (KG4 and KSF). Budget for speakers is $500, but I could spend more if there is a reason to do so.
 
left overs. sold the stuff that makes music, still has the stuff that processes the signal whatever that means. some reverb units are called Automatic Distortion Generators for a reason.

You'll be happy with the Technics. I have the SA-300 and 500 and both are performing beautifully and looking good and haven't had any caps replaced. For speakers you might wanna look at ADS, you can't go wrong.

-DT-540 Audio Digital Timer Going to do any recording or planning to use as a sleep timer or alarm clock?
-SR-9 Reverberation Amplifier Fun(?) toy. For a day or two. A little goes a long way. Novelty soon wears off for most people
-RG-9 RD Dynamic Processor Fun(?) toy. For a day or two. A little goes a long way. Novelty soon wears off for most people.
-SG-9 Graphic Equalizer OK EQ for a vintage (Pioneer) system.

JMO, if CHEAP might be ok additions for a silver face Pioneer system.
 
Thanks, all. As I mentioned above, most of these pieces are merely nostalgic for me. That said, I'm not to the point where I'm willing to overspend on it.

Except for the top piece, I believe this is SPC; i.e. Silver Plastic Crap. I could be wrong, though.

These appear to date from 1982.

Seems like SPC is not mentioned nearly as often as BPC.
Does that make it rarer and/or more valuable?:idea:
I already know the answer...;)
 
You could offer $100 for just the SR-9 and RG-9. Interesting eye candy, but that's about it.

I can vouch for the Dynamic Processor in the Cassette Deck audio line, have a full *-9 "Champagne" series set and its great for expanding the range of mass produced tapes.
