I sold one on eBay a few years ago in non working condition I bought for $5.00 from a Goodwill outlet store. I will say this thing is massive. I took it apart and noticed four capacitors about the size of family size Dentimore stew cans and a toroidal transformer the size of a large sauce pan and it was so heavy I could barely lift the thing. Now I'm wishing I would have kept it and had it professionally repaired and restored.
Nice receiver. If I were you, though, I would get the turntable from the top of the receiver and put it on a separate shelf. You definitely don't want to block the ventilation holes on top. I always loved this series of receivers. Even the lower wattage ones were very loud at low volume. They don't make them like that anymore. Enjoy it.
+Rhett Krecic (Rhettsterhhhh) yes you are correct, the heat sinks are on the sides. But there are other smaller compenents inside that have heat sinks.
Rhett Krecic The vent holes on top of the receiver is to prevent heat build up inside the chassis. If there is no air ventilation, the receiver will not last long. It needs ventilation to dissipate heat.
Pioneer Lover You didn't read my comment correctly, I said I didn't think the turntable was covering the main heat sink located on the back of the receiver. At least not enough to kill airflow completely. You need to remember that unlike modern receivers, this thing was put under the test to play 270 watts per channel for a prolonged time. Giving that in this video, the receiver hardly was even outputting a quarter of it's power, it should be fine. Now if this thing was outputting it's full power, then yes, I would have nothing on top of it.
Obviously this tech is not new any more, but what would it sell for on Ebay? I'm really looking for a late70's - early 80's amp, it's gotta have I the little needles swingin' away to the music! The only other feature for this dream-amp would be the woodgrain finish on the sides. Beautiful!

This receiver has a giant heat sink in the background. I don't think it was covering the heat sink.

I have a sx1980 mint pioneer tuner/amp. what speakers do you think it should be paired with?
Robert Laite Pioneer HPM-100, HPM-200 are the best speaker to match for SX-RECEIVERS
That's what i'm talking about
How much
