Great video! Commentary was funny as hell too. I think that I can handle this job now. Thx.
Awesome, I’m glad you liked it and thought it was funny too! Good luck on changing yours, it wasn’t too hard from what I recall, just be careful with the bulb clips
Thank you so much for posting this video about installing LED lights in a Pioneer SX-780, I just bought a SX-780 off ebay this past weekend and coincidently, I'm gonna have to be putting LED bulbs in it that I also ordered as well, I've been browsing on line here to see if anyone has a video, and I came across this post! Just the info I needed!😀👍(Thanks So Much!)
Happy to help! I got my lights on eBay from a seller named projectblk86. I’ve never done this before and was still able to do it. Hit me up if you have any questions about it! How’re you liking the SX-780?
Dude, you've come a long way since your first video. Already doing "rebuilds" & lettin' us all watch! Your a BIG TIME CZcamsR now! Got a Patron & everything! Great commentary too. 🤣👍🏻
Thanks to you!
You were lucky that the plastic clips did not break off during removal and installation.
The first pioneer I replaced the bulbs on, I broke the old brittle clip on each one. The next two, I’ve got a special tweezers that has small “hooks” and I just pulled the bulbs and replaced. I would really recommend that.
When i changed my lamps one clip on each of the bulb holders snapped off just as soon as i grabbed a hold of them.Worked out o.k. since the bulb housing stays in the light diffuser anyway with just the one clip.In my case i stayed with the incandescent bulbs for a more classic look.It's funny because i've had this 780 since '79 and the original bulbs were still working but had dimmed considerably over time.
Yeah I was worried mine were gonna snap too. I worry about that whenever I’m doing any stereo work since I’ve had it happen (I was trying to fix a grounding hum in my Dual turntable and ended up breaking something off!).
I like the look of the original lamps too and still have them as back-ups. I just changed them cuz they were heating up the top of my receiver and I’ve seen people say that could leave a scorch mark or warp the veneer.
@@TheVintageNewbie You know,i've heard that can happen.I've never had that issue. thankfully mines always run very cool.Also,thanks so much for this video.I watched it before i tried changing the lamps.You were a big help.
Dang, I wish I'd seen this video (that didn't exist yet) before I did the lights in my SX-780. My method was way janky. The result was fine, just janky looking when you look under the hood.
Haha tell you what, if I ever crack this whole time travel thing, I’ll be sure to have Western Union deliver a telegram to you before you install your lights and I’ll include a dvd of this video!
