I still have a VP-1000 and LD-660 that I think is a union member... works when it wants to.
What's Pioneer in your rig?

Here is my set up. I rebuilt the SG-9500, the PL-530 and the HPM-100. The SX-850 is untouched, probably needs a recap soon.
Pioneer Elite SC-09TX Receiver
Pioneer Elite BDP-09FD BluRay
Pioneer Elite N-30 Network Audio Player
Pioneer PLX-1000 Turntable
Pioneer Elite BDP-09FD BluRay
Pioneer Elite N-30 Network Audio Player
Pioneer PLX-1000 Turntable

You should take a picture with the doors open and post it.
Here it is. I had an additional CD player that crapped out on me so I am looking around for a new dedicated CD player although I don't really need it too bad because the BDP-09FD is awesome for CDs too. I'm in the process of re-wiring everything (In-wall). I also have an HTPC that I am looking to upgrade and will place it in the cabinet.
I had to do some reinforcement of the shelf the SC-09TX is sitting on because it weighs about 80 lbs. The BDP-09FD is heavy too along with the PLX-1000.

It's sweet!
Okay I'll play. Everything I have is in various states of restoration, but it all works and sounds great. I can't seem to get very good pictures, but you guys know what they look like. It all looks a lot better in person also, mostly pretty mint. Some I've had for 30+ years, but a lot of it has been acquired and repaired/restored on the past few years.
First, my SPEC rack system with TX-9500II, SPEC 1, SG-9500, CT-F1000, SPEC 2, and RT-707 sitting on top. They're on a Heathkit rack mount with Walnut sides.
Next is Blue Line stuff, on a replica of the Heathkit rack mount I made to have a matching pair. I'll post on thread on woodworking/veneering, etc. one of these days.
This one contains a DT-510, TX-9800, SA-9800, SG-9800, CT-F1250, RG-2, and SR-303, and RT-909 on top.
In addition, I have one each of these-
Pl-630
SX-750, SX-950 (on the bench getting a little work)
SX-580, SX-680 (that I purchased new in 8th grade,) SX-780, SX-880
SX-3700, SX-3800
SA-9900 (this one has a little transistor noise to be fixed)
Pair HPM-1500's
All of this and a few others on the wish list will go upstairs in the Audio room above the shop when it's finished.
I'm probably forgetting something, but I guess this makes it clear enough that I have a problem.

Great choice, wonderful pictures! Beautiful gear! Believe me, I also had great fun with my 3x complete like yours Pioneer spec 1,2 based racks and 1x blueline bases complete spec 1.2 based rack. including with my wood cased blue line pieces till summer 2022 while living oversees in Vancouver BC. But that was then, and this is now!
If I would start over with Pioneer; I would however limit myself and buy again the older 1970's X100 series based components.
Although I do have already again vintage Hi-Fi gear starting with a P..
(Vintage) Hi-Fi. Isn't it the greatest hobby on earth? Especially with pictures

I've been looking for a reasonable-ish SX-1250 for a few years now. Took a chance on the auction site last week and it arrived today. Looks great and turns on correctly on the dim bulb. It should be a fun project I hope. Really looking forward to having it in my setup.

Got around to setting my home office back up after the recent move, and decided to change my office stereo setup. Added a separate component stand, a turntable, tape deck and a Wiim Pro+ streamer. The speakers are a pair of Triangle BR03 bookshelf speakers located on my desk.
It's a sweet setup. Walking into the room with this along side a couple of modern computers and monitors is like walking into some retro-futuristic version of the 70's. I enjoy it.
