Inside the box.

When a stereo goes bad, and it's beyond my ability to fix, I take it to Art to troubleshoot and repair. This model, a Pioneer SX-950, was made from 1977 to 1979, and produced an astouding 85 watts RMS per side, at 8 ohms. As it only takes 15 watts to be really loud, this model had nearly six times more power than needed. Back then we liked to feel the music, not just hear it.

Turns out the problem was in the power supply, and once determined what was causing the problem, it became a simple solution to fix. Collectors spend upwards to $1000.00 for these vintage models. Just shipping it can cost $100.00, as they weigh over 42 pounds.

Once restored, we play these exceptional stereos in the gallery, that is until someone wants it more than I do, and then I find another.

Feel free to download, just give me photo credit.
