Description from the seller
Pioneer SX-5000 – Vintage analog stereo receiver from the late 1970s
Classic Pioneer SX-5000 in good cosmetic and functional condition. It is a iconic silver-face receiver from the Pioneer golden era, with a clean design, large metallic knobs and a prominent analog dial that give it an elegant retro look.
Key technical features:
• Power: 20 watts per channel RMS into 8 Ω (real power and sufficient for small rooms or efficient speakers)
• Power consumption: 62 Watts (as per original plate)
• Analog AM/FM tuner with mechanical dial and needle
• Inputs: Phono, Aux, Tape, Mic (front jack)
• Outputs: Speakers A and B (A/B/A+B), Headphones, Tape Out
• Controls: Bass, Treble, Balance, Volume and Function selector
• Analog signal and tuning indicators + orange POWER and STEREO lights
Equipment details:
• Year: Late 70s (approx. 1976-1978)
• Origin: Made in Japan (Pioneer Electronic Corp.)
• Approximate dimensions: 48-50 cm wide × 14-15 cm tall × 35-38 cm deep (large size typical of the era)
• Weight: 10 kg
• Multi-voltage: 110/120/220/240 V – rear selector
Physical condition (see all detailed photos): The front silver face presents a very good shine with minor signs of normal wear for its age (fine scratches and vintage patina). The large metallic knobs are complete and original. The dial is clear and legible. The back shows some superficial patina typical of the passage of time, but all connectors, speaker terminals and the specification plate 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 Pioneer from the era.
Sold as shown, complete with power cord
Serial number: Visible on the back plate (photo included).
Shipping: Available with secure and reinforced packaging (the unit is large and heavy).
