Vintage Pioneer SX-828 Stereo Receiver – Tested & Working – Beautiful Wood Cabinet – $549 OBOBeautiful vintage Pioneer SX-828 AM/FM stereo receiver, made in Japan in the early 1970s.I recently opened the receiver for visual inspection and cleaning, checked the fuse, powered it up and spent time testing its basic functions.Overall, the receiver is working very well and sounds great.Both channels produce audio, FM reception is strong, the tuning and signal meters operate, dial illumination works, and the controls have the wonderfully smooth, substantial feel these early Pioneer receivers are known for.Tested and observed:Powers on normallyBoth channels producing audioFM tuner receives stations wellSignal and tuning meters workingDial illumination workingVolume, balance, bass and treble controls workingSpeaker selector workingInput/function controls workingTape-monitor switches functioningSwitches, knobs and control caps presentInternal fuse inspected and goodInterior visually inspected and carefully cleanedAttractive original wood cabinetCondition / disclosure:The Low Filter switch produces a switching transient/pop when engaged, followed by a brief interruption before the audio returns. Switching transients and some momentary interruption can occur when operating controls on unrestored vintage audio equipment, but I am noting it here for complete transparency.There is also occasional minor crackle/fizzle when operating some switches, particularly the tape-monitor controls. Again, this is not unusual with vintage analog controls and switches that have been in service for decades and may benefit from future cleaning/service.Otherwise, during my testing the receiver operated normally and sounded very good.This is an unrestored vintage receiver. I have not professionally recapped or electronically restored it and am not representing it as recently serviced or restored. It is being sold based on the testing described above.Cosmetically it presents very nicely for its age, with its classic brushed-aluminum faceplate, illuminated tuner display and wood cabinet. There are normal scratches, marks and signs of age/use. Please examine all photographs carefully for exact cosmetic condition.The receiver came from a longtime guitar/electronics repair shop that is being downsized.The Pioneer SX-828 is rated at approximately 54 watts per channel into 8 ohms and features dual phono inputs, multiple tape connections, pre-out/main-in connections and multiple speaker outputs.A beautiful, substantial example of classic early-'70s Pioneer hi-fi.$549 OBO.Local pickup in the South Bay Los Angeles area is welcome and preferred due to the receiver's size, weight and age.Shipping is also available if properly packed and insured.Sold as pictured and described.
