For sale: Beautiful Pioneer SX-550 stereo receiver from the classic 1970s Pioneer era, combining the characteristic brushed-aluminium front panel, large analogue tuning scale and wooden side panels.
This example has received both technical and cosmetic attention. The receiver has been repaired where necessary, the exterior has been rewrapped/refinished and repainted, and the illumination has been renewed. The tuning-scale mechanism/indicator has also been repaired.
The result is a particularly clean SX-550 with a presentation that is much closer to new than most surviving examples, while retaining the original vintage character of the receiver.
