This is a once in a lifetime find. This Pioneer SX-1250 Receiver is almost 50 years old and looks like it was just removed from the box it came in. Not a single mark on the front plate, and just a couple scuffs on the wood. The inside is near perfect as well. It has NO signs of any capacitor leakage. It has NOT been restored. I was going to do a restoration on it but after listening to it on my Altec 620's I decided it didn't need anything. It sounds absolutely wonderful. 160 REAL watts of window shattering power. If you ever dreamed of owning one of these 65 pound monsters, this is the one to buy. Use it for many years as it is, and restore it in the future if it becomes necessary. Obviously it was kept in a non smoking environment and cared for like one of the children. The best word to describe it is... Pristine.... Every part is original, even the tinted panel lamps, and they all work. These receivers, in my opinion were the best of the best of the tuner wars. There were a few bigger ones, but for all over dependability and quality, and serviceability, Pioneer SX-1250 wins...
