VINTAGE PIONEER SX-980 STEREO RECEIVER
LOVELY CONDITION. INCLUDES ORIGINAL MANUAL.
*
You are looking at a fantastic example of the Pioneer SX-980 – One of the best looking receivers ever produced.
The sound quality this machine delivers is absolutely sensational. It can handle an infinite range of music from jazz to rock and sounds exceptional with something a bit more laid back. The sound can be described as ‘warm’ and ‘silky’, Bass is handled with ease and the treble shimmers with such a perfect clarity.
The condition is really nice. See the pics… Any marks on it are really small and you would have to be really close to inspect them. There are some light scrates on the very top metal of the faceplate but these could be sanded/polished out no problem. All of the lights function, The faceplate is in nice condition as is the cabinet,The glass does not have any damage and all of the switches,buttons and knobs works perfectly.
The Pioneer SX-980 and was produced from 1978 to 1979 and was the last of the 900 series receivers from Pioneer. The SX-980 is basically a slightly restyled SX-950. You’ll notice that the meter faces are black instead of white to improve the legibility of the analog meters. The SX-980 is rated at 80 watts per channel into 8 ohms.
Aesthetically these receivers are extremely nice to look at. They embody the vintage receiver look of the late 70’s and will no doubt catch the eye of any visitor of your home wether they are an audio enthusiast or not. It is a piece of art – With the bonus of exceptional sound output.
I can tell you now that vintage hi-fi is rocketing in value, The sheer build quality is un-matched these days and to get a similar sound quality will set you back a couple of thousand. It’s 100% a perfect investment as equipment like this only appreciates in value. – They just dont make them like this anymore.
