The fuzzy ball display is actually quite usefull for sound engineers because it lets them, combined with a multiband EQ, see exactly where in the stereopanorama a certain frequency band is. So when mixing a song you usually want the bass in the center and the high frequency stretched out into the panorama to have a good room/stereo imagery.
Oh My GOD! The memories!!! I had an oscilloscope hooked up to my stereo when I was in high school (around 1967 or so). Was so much fun to watch the wave forms run across the screen. I set it up so the left channel was the horizontal and the right channel was the vertical. So much fun....
🧓🏻 You could do that, with a Raspberry Pi.. All you need is a wooden box, an aluminium panel, some basic machining tools, C+ programing experience, a suitably sized CRT screen, some pots, RCA ports and a few toggle buttons, two VU meters and you'll be up and running in a matter of months!
Just in case no one gets the reference. czcams.com/video/ZeqVF-2SRRg/video.html
MrClassiccarenthusia but, it wouldn't be the same as having a vintage unit
Enterprize 1701 No, it wouldn't.. Vintage hardware carries with it a certain charm.. It's also highly addictive.. I bought a Rotel RA-412 and a Radio unit for £30 a while back.. Then a few months later it blew up.. 😔 Fast forward a little while, and I was on the floor of my room with complete wiring diagrams for the unit.. I rebuilt every part of the board bo a better standard than normal.. Even swapped in a set of NOS Sanken transistors from an RX-1603, the rectifier bridge was remade with the highest quality Japanase diodes and all the filter caps were upgraded too..
Wamed it up, biased it, then tested it with a pair of my brothers best headphones, sounded bloody amazing! Then I sat on the floor with my RP-3000 and a pair of Wharfedale Linton XP2s listening to records in a sort of weird trance..
Stay away from vintage hardware! Or you'll end up like the owner of this CZcams channel!
still shorter than getting one of these units
Hahaha!
This is a beautiful system. Makes audio look really cool with those level meters and oscilloscope. I could never get one though because I would probably go insane trying to make all my old HiFi equipment to play perfectly, something that I am terribly ill-equipped to do. All I can fix is mechanical stuff, electrical repairs are above my pay grade. But not for lack of trying! Great video Techmoan, thanks for all the great stuff you do and show us.
This device makes audio visually pleasing. Superb video.
DR DCC but does it make video audibly pleasing?
Very fancy indeed for the early 70’s. I would have absolutely loved this unit back then. Thanks Techmoan. Keep up the good work, we’ll keep digging it...man!
Absolutely love your videos! Wish I'd have found them sooner! Superb, quality content and love the retro audio equipment reviews, as it brings back quite a few memories.. plus, some of the stuff you review I had never heard of way back then! Looking forward to your next video.
Absolutely love your videos and your passion for vintage gear, thank you for bringing this gem to life!
I always enjoy seeing retro devices appearing on your channel, my favourite type of content.
Wonderful! What I like the most about the oscilloscope is the movement of the beam as the capacitors discharge after the machine is turned off. (2:25)
"Lots of stuff in there, that does... THINGS" Spare me your technical jargon, Techmoan! :)
Oh, but that is the stuff classics are made of!
For the Record stop your arrogance bro
Right! I so laughed when I saw your comment 😀
@@okktok I think the humour went right over your head "bro".
Thanks for sharing this esoteric info!!! I love it. And the silver-front design of that era was SOO COOOL
This is the coolest tech you have done, I have wanted one of these stereo displays for a long ass time. Im so jealous right now!
Well, it's woodgrained, should keep an LGR happy at the very least... :P
twocvbloke
I see where you're going, but i'd like to point out that LGR is more into retro computers; some of the more likely connoisseurs of this particular piece of kit would be e.g. databits, VWestlife, or Technology Connections.
LGR is a hifi enthusiast as well, he's got a complete hifi setup that makes random cameos in his twitter posts
Amir Pourghoureiyan
Oh i didn't know that - i don't use twitter myself you see - but i thank you for the heads-up! :)
another vacuum cleaner fan in Techmoan's audience!! Such fun.
twocvbloke my dog didn't even notice it.
Matt, thank you so much, from Western Canada, for your well thought out and edited sharing and for hunting this sh!t down to make us drool. Bravo! love the retro videos.
Love your reviews. Especially old tech. Been a subscriber to your channel for a while now. Awesome content as always
Well this cheered up an otherwise dull day. Thank you for sharing your passion, I always enjoy your work.
Omg Techmoan, why do you keep doing this to me! You find some awesome, obscured Hi-Fi thing that costs an arm and a leg, then you also have the Techmoan affect, where it then gets double the price, and I want one and can't find it or afford it! :)
Michael Cawley it's exactly what I thought sir. And damnit, I want one too!
Maybe we can manufacture new ones? Of course no CRT, but TFT. Would people buy one as a DIY kit that requires sourcing a $100 enclosure from China separately?
This is why when you have multiple of weird hifi devices to sell, you give him one for free or a discount, and then wait for the price to rise on the remaining ones.
"The Techmoan Effect" i love that phrase! :D haha
id try and rig up an oscilloscope to the speaker output.
For anybody wondering, song played from vinyl for a few seconds: Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock - It takes two
i really love pioneer electronics man.. and you''re starting to make me like the retro grooves. i have to get one in future God willing
Love the new HiFi cabinet, would also love a tour of everything you've got in it!
Beautiful piece of hardware.
Hands down, one of the best things I've seen and I actually want one. Great video
You have a nice set up techmoan, that scope really sets the mood.Cheers
Incredibly informative, excellent video, loving it already and then, bam, you drop some Rob Base in there, and took it up another notch. Excellent.
I remember when these came out. I lusted over one, but it was out of my range at that time.
Damn you are old, bruv.
Audio eye candy at its best. Love it!
Love the new shelves. Great video.
Another brilliant review. Many thanks.
Thanks for another excellent review! I have often wondered what could be done with one of these devices and have thought about adding one to my vintage setup.
this is a beautiful piece !
I love your system! So organized.
Epic video, so pleased you got one and did this video about it, thought I was in Hardman Radio Manchester again ( they were bought out by Laskys by your day) brushed aluminium and wood oh happy days
If you have a look at the manual, it shows this is meant to be fed from your receivers Amp via the speaker output, split with a Y cable of some sort to the speakers. I would guess you could run this off of an unused Speaker output ( Speaker B if you are only running Speaker A for example ) the Multipath option is meant to go to a tuner which specifically has that option, and it is meant for FM only. Manual is free on hifiengine.
Beautiful piece of kit!
This has become my absolute FAVORITE channel on CZcams. In fact, when I go to my local record store (and they indeed sell vintage audiophile equipment such as reel-to-reel machines, speakers, etc.), I rant and rave about this channel. I hope I boosted your sub count by some small way! Take care, and keep doing what you do!
Thanks old chap.
Wow, you put that into your system with the CRT scale installed backwards. That would keep me up at night, so I would definitely have taken it apart as far as I had to, to flip that thing around!
I used the ending credits to test out my new set of AKG Cans/Headphones! Thanks Techmoan... I really like the unit you showcased
Love your videos!! Great job
Gorgeous piece of kit! Thanks for the great video
Thanks for the Retro Grooves tip! Brilliant!!!
Oh man. I've lusted after this thing for decades. Super envious.
A very cool accessory. There where several Pioneer and Marantz quadraphonic receivers that had the scope built in to the receiver, and most quad receivers did have 4 VU meters built in so you could set levels and balance things with a test record.
Love your setup! It really does look great.
Thank you for sharing...
You should set the position of the scope trace on the centre with the vert position knob. Now it looks as if it has a DC offset.
Techmoan, you are the Pioneer of vintage tech videos on CZcams.
reeffeeder I see what you did there
And not too technika.
Mike McL well played
Impressive review. Outstanding. Thank you.
There are likely VU calibration adjustments in the unit. If you can find a service manual it should show how to re-calibrate the meters. Your videos bring back memories, I was an electronic repair tech in the early 1970's...worked on lots of consumer electronics.
Lovely bit of kit!
All I'm looking for is a CT-F1000 to join my receiver and then you show this beauty... the hunt has just gotten longer!
Wow! I just found your channel. This vid is great!
When I was a kid we had a Centrex (by Pioneer) integrated stereo (AM/FM, cassette, record player on top) and an external 8-Track player similar to yours (though yours seems to have a few more buttons and whistles). Circa 1977 or '78.
Thanks for doing this video. This was very cool.
Keep going!
What a lovely piece of kit. I think you're going to need a bigger house soon!
Cool gear indeed. I acquired (from an elderly friend) the Heathkit AD-1013 unit shown in the old advertisement. My friend had built the kit himself and had kept the original manual, but It's been a long time since I saw it in his stereo rack. I cleaned it up and performed the calibration procedure a few times. The generator is quite good but the scope is small and has no useful scale markings. So I've decided it's basically a toy and to keep it in my static "museum" shelf, without taking the time to do a full refurbishing (replacing caps and other off spec components). Thanks for the video.
Those knobs are used in Marshall guitar amps. You can buy them in Europe in stores like musikding, banzai music, etc.
Yeah i though i recognised them from my Marshalls.
I only see this machines whenever I go to a friends house where their parents are working in UK, US or Japan. They're fun to look at and also to listen to those warm well balanced base and treble sounds.
Been looking for one for 5 years !!!! Now that's a dedicated techie
There was also a scope mfgr'd by Kenwood the KT-6000 (circa 1970). I own it. I recapped it and it still works fine. It's got FM-multipath input also. The cost was around $200.00 in 1970 dollars.
This is the stuff i like. I watch techmoan for mostly audio equipment
I was writing an oscilloscope program for audio that did sweep only and immediately added XY mode after seeing this. Even got it to rotate the points 45 degrees so left and right would be flat. Thanks for the inspiration!
What a fascinating little machine!
on the board that the needles are attached, you'll see a flathead much like the on the front under display. they may tune the level like you want. on the needles. awesome gadget by the way! I'm jealous!
i love all those vintage 70's and 80's stereo equipment. If i only knew better, then i would have starting buying them all up in the late 80's early 90's,
because in those days, people practicaly gave al these fine equipment away in garages sales and flee markets
Congratulations on your new acquisition..from the 8 bit guy's behalf...
...I follow you both for the amazing content you make...you could let fans congratulate you on each others behalfs.
Beautiful vintage device this
wow. Amazing. I never thought about. Thanks a lot. Awesome video.
what a fascinating video. Thank you for uploading. 😎👍
I bought one of the SD-1000's years ago for $25 through Craig's list. They are now worth over $1000 and very rare. My scope tube is still good and I have upgraded some of the electronics in it. I also was able to get a service manual from Pioneer for it with schematics.
I would NEVER part with it as I really like it and it is useful, although you can only look at 2 channels at a time, but can select any combination of 4 inputs with the push buttons.
The SD-1100 is capable of displaying all 4 channels in quadrature on the scope, so I modified my 1000 to do that too!
Realize that you have a VERY rare piece of equipment!
Interesting and nicely done as always. 👍
The use of binding posts and that 20 dB attenuation made me wonder if those rear panel inputs were intended to be used for speaker-level signals, so you could compare the output of your amp to a line level signal from the same source. But I don't know enough about electronics to know if that'd even be a useful thing to do.
bingo!. you would want to scope the amp as It may be the weak part in the old system. clippping any one ?:)
You could do a slick Bode plot with this ..
That's the reason that thing has a sweep generator on the oscillator. There's probably a feature on it that actually *does* a Bode plot if the phosphor on the tube is slow enough.
the EE in me is happy.......... Irony my first scope when I was 13 was a modded 5 inch BW TV added a BNC jack to the vert coil and volla fixed sweep rate audio scope.
fun times
Stoney3K I try Bode plots on analog scopes from time to time and the plot moves around the screen
Wow i love vintage tech on this channel!
Now this is something I could just sit and watch all afternoon!
Man, I wish I could get my own wayback machine. I'd have all the things!
Also, my Dad had a 4 Channel setup when I was kid. It was like magic to me. Then the Sansui receiver took a dump :(
Thanks to you, I now have both mailcall devices. My friends love playing with them.
Always interesting videos.
Must have a huge collection if he keeps all the items he reviews!
What a COOL piece of gear! I wasn't aware it existed until...now!
In my journey of CZcams surfing I found your content to standout and unique combined with great videography. Wow how do get hold of such things, just awesome.
Awesome video thanks !
Oh boy my body just shivered with that sine wave test
What a beauty...I love that vintage Pioneer stuff :)
I have a Hifi set up in my room. I have a Sony TA-F40 amplifier, a PYE Cambridge 9123 Reel to reel, a Denon DRM-550 cassette deck, an 8 track player and a Dual 505 Mk2 turntable. The amplifier is wired up to two sets of speakers and it sounds very nice. The stylus I use for the turntable is a Nagaoka MP-100 and the cartridge is a Nagaoka MP-11. There are small VU meters on my amplifier and I have to turn it up a quarter of the way to get the sound to register on it.
wow lovely bit of kit. I use to have a small oscilloscope connected to the RCA low output of my HiFi as a Teen. well i say small, the screen was but the thing its self was the size of a small house. but it was free. :)
looks so cool
My Pioneer system lives in a networking-cabinet with the direct-drive record-player sitting on top!
The steel cabinet itself is extremely sturdy & will outlast anything made from particle-board or mdf, plus it has the the advantage that components can be either rack-mounted or sat on rack-mounted shelving as I've done (easier than trying to find brackets the right size & longer case screws)!
My grand father had one of these until mid 90s or so never found out what happened to it. Had to be my favorite device of his.
When I get out the army (and the damn barracks) I'm going to have a dedicated HiFi set up I've been wanting one since I was stationed in Korea, and yours looks absolutely amazing
Good luck. Start small and take your time - shopping around for components is a big part of the fun.
This is one of the coolest HIFI accessories I've ever seen
Very cool! I imagine that, with enough practice, you could gain an intuitive reading of the "ball of steel wool" and be able to diagnose quite a lot from that quasi-3D display.
I usually only understand about 1/2 or what he's saying..... and yet, these are the most fascinating videos on the internet........
Ich liebe deine Videos über Vintage HiFi, Grüsse aus der Schweitz
I love your videos about vintage HiFi, greetings from Switzerland
WOW! I am a Pioneer fan and I have never seen one of these before! Awesome bit of equipment. I doubt you would be selling this so you could re-route the front inputs to the back quite easily to tidy it up. Looking forward to the quad review.
Great video well done thanks.
That is some cool looking equipment.
My Marantz 19 Receiver has a small scope and it's fun to watch the stereo signal. You can tell if a station is broadcasting in stereo but the source is really mono. It also shows multipath for turning your antenna toward the station.
Having cooked a lot of Pioneer equipment of that vintage, a nice addition to any of it is a PC cooling fan to get some airflow through the cab. Passive doesn't cut it forever.
Nice you cover this. Almost bought one a year ago....
Excellent video
Very nice find
1:49 don't forget; the signal output of your laptop is a class D output, your sinwave is not real, but synthesized by PWM, wich increase the noise in.
I have the Pioneer SX-626 , the one normal people would most likely buy, it´s still running strong and i used as the main stereo for the house.
There were Hi-Fi cabinets going back to the 50's. Even in the 60's they were putting out such consoles that had a phonograph, radio and even a TV set built-in.
I know the history. A rack of HiFi components in the corner of the room was not a *common* thing in houses until the late 70s...through to the 80s. Yes people had radiograms, stereograms, record players with built in radios before, but a rack of HiFi gear?....A few enthusiasts. Try finding a HiFi shop in the average British town in 1965. However go into the average house in the UK in 1987 and you’d find a midi stack system with smoked glass doors, containing a record player, radio, cassette, perhaps a CD player, graphic equaliser. The majority of people today don’t have a separate HiFi in their house. No one I personally know other than myself does...but in the 1980s everyone I knew had one. My parents didn’t and my grandparents didn’t.
Techmoan Yeah, I guess I'm thinking from an American standpoint here.
