Acquired it with a "package deal"... A very sweet, late 70s silver-face Pioneer that goes with the fluoroscan line of the maker -- pair it with a CT-F 1250 and an RT-909, and you have an excellent system.
Have a few too many as it is, so this one was (as usual) gone through and professionally repaired/rebuilt to last another 40 years - and is looking for its 'forever home'...
The work included:
- right side output circuit
- checking and adjusting the bias and voltages
- operation confirmed by an oscilloscope
- lubricated/de-oxITed the switches and potentiometers
The unit is in excellent condition; nothing really to note outside of the minor delamination of the veneer from the bottom of the side panels, which barely noticeable (see pictures).
Dual voltage - 120V/220V-240V, a rare bird.
See the video for the demo - I had an iPod (classic!) hooked up to the AUX and a phono to, well, PHONO.
There is no static on the switches and the volume. The sound is warm and "very Pioneer".
____________________________________________________________________________
Perhaps you can find it listed elsewhere for less (and I have seen them go for MORE) - but, in my case, you would be getting a thoroughly checked-out unit with no stories.
See the feedback; I don't buy items to flip - it's not a source of income for me (especially when you consider the Reverb fees), no matter what IRS would like to think -- which they do now, and all sales are taxed as "income". UGH!
It will go out well packed and fully insured - through Reverb Safe Shipping (their coverage and customer service is quite good - given the weight, it's not cheap but is WELL WORTH the surety it brings)
A standard disclaimer: While the unit is fully operational to the best of my knowledge, it is being sold "as-described" because some folks here and on other platforms harbor peculiar misapprehensions about how a 40-50 year old piece of vintage electronics should look and function.
