Pioneer SX-950 Stereo Receiver Professionally Restored Great Sound Great Looks:
$630.00

First off I would like to say thank you to my past and repeat customers, and hello, and welcome, to my new customers. Unlike many (not all) \"Techs\" on who \"Restore\", \"Service\", or \"Rebuild, my restorations are REAL restorations, I use all new parts, new Nichicon, Panasonic, and United Chemicon capacitors, Fairchild and On-Semi transistors. Every board inside the unit is restored, all new caps, new transistors, and diodes when needed. I do not rebuild the tuner board, as many professional techs will tell you, \"if it works leave it alone\". Changing the capacitors in the tuner can throw the tuner out of alignment and that can be a nightmare. All dial lamps are changed out to new OEM versions. The wooden cabinet is also restored, which not too many want to take on. I make every effort to bring a piece of classic audio from yesterday back to prominence again, it gives me a good feeling when I can resurrect a broken down old piece of metal and glass and make it look so good that people want to display it in their living rooms. Thanks Again!


Here we have a very nice Pioneer SX-950 monster receiver. This receiver came to me DOA. I have done a complete overhaul on this unit and now plays like new. I have painstakingly changed all electrolytic capacitors in the receiver. Also all transistors, and numerous diodes have been replaced in this unit. Mechanically this receiver is like or better than new, and it should bring many more years of listening pleasure to it’s new owner. As you can see, and as you will hear, it sounds like a blast from the past. I have hand cleaned every PC board in this unit, I have re-soldered any suspect cold solders. I have cleaned and lubed all switches and pots with DeOxit and Faderlube for perfect pinpoint controls. I have replaced the dial lamps with new OEM lamps, every lamp in this receiver works as it should. I have also set the voltages for dc offset to factory specifications. The faceplate and all the knobs were removed and cleaned in a combination of warm water and mild soap, the faceplate is very attractive and would look fantastic in any room of your home. I polished each knob and the faceplate with Blue Magic metal cleaner...looks great and shines very brilliantly. The top of the faceplate has minor scratching from stacking other components over the years, this is normal for these old silver faced Pioneers. The wooden case was rough, I sanded the original veneer and got it to the point of looking almost new,there are a few marks here and there but it looks very good, I added 3 coats of Danish oil and it looks awesome. This receiver bench tested at 107 old school watts per channel(85 original spec) and that is an understatement, this sounds more like a 200 watt receiver. This will blow the doors of anything produced today. The tuner is very good, and I live in a heavily wooded area where reception is difficult at best.This receiver has been playing continuous for the past few days with no issues. This receiver has lots of punch, the phono sounds fantastic, all inputs and outputs work as they should. Whoever gets this Pioneer will be extremely happy for many years to come. Overall I will miss this receiver, I have worked countless hours on it, and it is difficult to part with. It is a pleasure to be able to share my work with customers like you. Please check my response for 100% positive reviews, I have sold over 500 receivers and all customers have been very happy with their purchases. I will ship FedEx Ground fully insured to US customers only. If for some reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact me immediately and we will work out a solution. Thank You and happy offerding!
