For vintage audio collectors or retro hi-fi enthusiasts:
This is a rare opportunity to pick up a complete, fully-matched Sony XO-D501 system — receiver, turntable, main speakers, and surround speakers — all original, all working well except for the cassette decks (details below).
This is not a parts stack. It’s a genuine full system from the late 1980s / early 1990s, well preserved and always stored indoors.
Cassette Deck Note During final testing I found that both cassette decks power on, engage, and attempt to run, but the tapes are not winding. This is almost certainly due to aged drive belts, which is a very common and easily fixed issue on vintage Sony gear. Replacement belts are inexpensive and widely available online.
Everything else functions as expected — amp, tuner, EQ, turntable and speakers all performing strongly.
Why This System Is Collectible
- HST-D501CDM Receiver — the heart of the system: amplifier, tuner, and dual cassette decks in one sleek Sony unit.
- Classic Sony sound features: 5-band graphic EQ, Dynamic Bass Feedback (DBFB), servo-controlled volume.
- PS-LX40P Turntable — original stylus included; ideal for vinyl fans wanting a period-correct setup.
- Matching SS-D501 Main Speakers + Surrounds — much harder to find as a complete matching set.
- Original accessories included: all cables, aerial, and Sony PDF user manual.
- A proper collector’s bundle with provenance — not a mix-and-match system.
Condition
- Very well maintained; clean and tidy with no major cosmetic wear.
- All components tested and working except cassette decks (belt issue).
- Turntable spins, cues, and tracks correctly; tuner locks stations confidently.
- Strong, warm, punchy sound across the system.
- Testing welcome on pickup.
Ideal For
- Vintage Sony collectors building a period-correct setup
- Vinyl lovers wanting an original Sony turntable + amp
- Retro audio fans looking for a complete system rather than mismatched components
