Pioneer - SX-450 (near-mint) Solid state stereo receiver

Pioneer SX-450 receiver

Beautiful vintage receiver from the golden years of Pioneer, the 1970s

Optically in near-mint condition, with only microscopic traces of use

The original wooden side panels are also in very nice condition. No notable damage, not even on the corners

Combined with the brushed aluminum front with aluminum knobs gives the device a uniquely beautiful and high-quality vintage appearance

As far as the technical aspect is concerned: the receiver has been completely cleaned inside and out and extensively tested. The dial illumination has been completely renewed with the original 8V / 300 mA bulbs

All potentiometers and switches have been cleaned, so no problems with crackling knobs or switches

The receiver is equipped with several connection options, including a very good phono input

The tuner section delivers crystal-clear FM stereo reception, and the tuning is very selective, even with a simple wire as an antenna

The sound quality is truly fantastic, with that characteristic warm and punchy 1970s sound

Please see the extensive photo report; it is part of the item description
