Sure looks like it. Has the tuning eye tube in the face.

Looks like a SMB 200.Which is all tube.

Judging by the name Pioneer on the front and the Pioneer logo, I think it's safe to say it is probably a Pioneer.

The OP was asking if it was a Pioneer Tube receiver vs a solid state unit. I think he already knew it was a Pioneer.

Pioneer did make some tube receivers; I've seen them on auction. Almost certainly from that picture it's a tube unit; manufacturers were eager to label products "Solid State" as soon as they came out. Also that tuning eye is tube-vintage.

It is a tube receiver. Looks to be a Pioneer SM-Q300B.
