FS: Pioneer SX-850 vintage receiver, Boston area

Pioneer SX-850 stereo receiver. Good condition. Pretty face, minor knicks on the cab. I replaced transistors on the protection board, which fixed a problem with the protection relay opening sporadically. Also I changed out the bias pots and the power amps' input transistor pairs, and set the bias. I replaced tantalum coupling caps on the preamp with oversized electrolytics. (Tantalums sound bad.) This one is all running like it should now.

 

It's clean inside, with no evidence of a major repair or rebuild. One of the output transistors is not original but it is a correct replacement.

 

Built to last ten lifetimes. Has two pairs of output transistors per channel, which allows it to supply more current than its 65-wpc-into-8-ohms rating suggests.

 

Asking $250.
