They are becoming increasingly rare. Photos 29 to 32 The device has, as can be seen in photo 33 to 40, 5 different lights which correspond to the chosen input, AM, FM, Phono, AUX and Mic(rophone). The chosen speaker outputs A,B and C are also illuminated and indicated in the tuning scale. As can clearly be seen on photo 16 and 19, this SX-6000 does not only have a preamp output, but a centre output as well to drive a centre speaker by means of a (mono) power amplifier. Who wants or has to get rid of rear speakers, one has the possibility to make a 3.1 surround system with a 1971 vintage stereo Pioneer receiver as a centrepiece. The power amplifier also has an own input and can be separately used. Two microphones (left and right) can be connected to the front. Two record players are have access to an excellent MM Phono stage on the back.

The devices are always cleaned and repaired and re-adjusted where needed. In the case of this SX-6000, the tuning has been readjusted so the values that are shown on the tuning scale match reality again.
