Description You are bidding on a late 70's PIONEER monster amplifier receiver. Back in the 70’s and 80’s all the audio manufactures were at war to create the largest power wattage a stereo receiver could have. This war was called the ‘Stereo Wars’ with this very unit being one of the largest, most powerful receivers Pioneer could build at the time. I have been the owner of this receiver and keep it covered when not in used; resulting in no apparent scratches, dents or rust. The original owner before me has looked after this in a similar way. The previous owner told me that it was serviced by AXENT Audio many years ago, and after some inspection we believe it! The insides are perfect, the cosmetics are great, the top is an 8/10 and all the functions, switches, dials and buttons work as they should. Overall, this is well looked after amplifier that has stood the test of time. Due to their age, units like these tend to rust away, making them very rare and highly collectable. To sweeten the deal, the successful buyer gets the option to have either ‘Cool Blue’ or ‘Warm Yellow’ LEDs inside it. Whatever the buyer decides, we will install it free of charge! Once a collector finds an SX-950 that do not sell it. Please ask any questions before bidding. You won’t want to miss out on this one.

  • Could you please give me an estimate on the cost to deliver to Caringbah NSW 2229 Australia. Thanks j******3 (0)11:47 am, Fri, 17 May Hi the quote told me $235, but I really wouldn't know until I actually buy the label.

  • Hello. Could you please provide some side-on photos of the two timber sides from the rear end of the unit, please. c******d (180)6:23 pm, Fri, 17 May Hi please refer to pictures 4,5,6 and then also the rear pictures. I have taken some pretty decent photos that shows everything. Let me know if there's something you are specifically after :) audio-engine (213) • Friday, 17 May 2024
  • Thanks for your reply The rear photo shows some deterioration of the bottom corners which is hard to see from the top-down angle photo shots with the timber table as the background. Just trying to establish what type of damage has caused the deterioration eg moisture, installation into the cabinet and cost to replace the sides if it is to visual as this would be exposed for view if I were to purchase. Thanks for your time. c******d (180)9:03 am, Sat, 18 May Hi there's no deterioration. The wood is in great condition and looks the same as the top too. I'll upload some pictures of the sides to show that. The wood doesn't need replacing. audio-engine (213) • Saturday, 18 May 2024
  • HI, have you got two amps because my pictures also show damage to the rear d******t (909)11:37 am, Sat, 18 May I do, but my other amplifier isn't listed for sale currently sorry. I will upload some photos of the sides for people to see, after I finish my shift! Thanks audio-engine (213) • Saturday, 18 May 2024
  • I didn't finish my question before it got listed. Cheers, d******t (909)11:45 am, Sat, 18 May . audio-engine (213) • Saturday, 18 May 2024

  • Have you done the decent thing and reimbursed the person who paid good money for the Kenwood turntable that failed? b*****1 (33)8:40 am, Tue, 21 May Hey Matt good question. The successful buyer of this auction will have a 3 week warranty from the date of purchase of this unit. However this does not cover misuse or it being taken apart (etc). Also, if their was any evidence (such as a video or picture) of this unit, from the buyer, that shows it to be fully working in the care of the buyer, and that the buyer is satisfied, it could potentially void the warranty. In regards to this turntable you are best to contact me privately to discuss :) audio-engine (213) • Tuesday, 21 May 2024
  • Hey. What’s the story about the turntable? Cheers. s*********7 (317)12:34 pm, Wed, 22 May
  • Has it always been 230volts? or has it been converted from 110volts? Im asking because on the back there's the 230v sticker which looks like its covering the old voltage b****s (226)11:50 am, Thu, 23 May Hi there, not sure, it is certainly 240v. During my ownership I have fully tested it and it works as it should. It has a recent test tag that i got done too. Has had a previous service, supposively by Axent Audio - Kelly, as the previous owner told me. The test tag wouldn't be on it if their was any 'power' issues. Hope this helps :) audio-engine (213) • Thursday, 23 May 2024
