Physical condition (see all detailed photos): The silver front shows a very good shine with slight signs of normal use for its age (fine scratches and vintage patina). The large metal knobs are present and original. The dial is clear and legible. The back shows some superficial patina typical of time, but all connectors, speaker terminals and the specifications board are intact. It operates correctly: powers on, the orange lights respond, the dial moves and the controls turn without major issues.
Ideal for: Vintage audio collectors, retro setups or as a centerpiece in a simple analog system. It sounds warm and musical, typical of Pioneers from that era.
