Vintage Pioneer SX-838 receiver for parts - $10 (East)

If anyone is interested, this is listed in Pittsburgh Craigs List...

I have nothing to do with this add...   :)

I picked this up last night.  It's in excellent shape cosmetically.  Seems to be built really well.   It has the original pre/main jumpers in place. There is also a small RCA cable jumper that goes from the tape 1 PB to the tape 2 record input.  All the meter and dial face lamps are burned out. The owner said he was getting no output to the speakers on some sources and very little on others.  Any suggestions on what to look at first? 

Falcon:
You should clean the switches and pots with deoxit, before you can start trouble shooting.

I think that I gave that unit to George several years ago.  I was having some problems with it.  I guess he never got around to fixing it.  When it worked, it was an exceptional unit.  It's worth fixing!!

Good suggestion! My first thought as well.
