    Description

    Rare estate sale find from a beautiful home within a mile of Bill Gates & Jeff Bezos mansions!  This Pioneer SX-1050 has been housed in a larger enclosed cabinet its whole life with nothing ever stacked on top of it.   The only visible wear you'll see is some light markings on the volume knob, around the headphone jack and the corner of the left front wood post.  Otherwise this baby is in virtually perfect condition.  All functions have been tested and work flawlessly and this thing sounds better than just about anything I've heard before!  All internal circuitry has been cleaned free of dust for optimal operating conditions.  The faceplate, knobs and switches have been thoroughly washed and polished to give it that showroom shine.  I guarantee you won't find one of these in better condition!
    Pioneer SX-1050
    AM/FM Stereo Receiver (1976-78)
    Description
    High sensitivity, outstanding circuit design in a new AM/FM receiver.
    The Pioneer SX-1050 puts every significant AM/FM receiver feature together in a strikingly handsome package.
    From a highly sensitive FM front end, a high selectivity IF section, to the low distortion, big power amplifier section that delivers the outstanding continuous power output of 120 watts per channel min RMS at 8 ohms from 20 to 20,000Hz, with no more than 0.1 % total harmonic distortion, the SX-1050 radiates the excellence that the stereo buff has come to expect from Pioneer electronics.
    Such features as a phase locked loop IC in the MPX section, the audible multipath switch that helps eliminate FM wave interference, and the highly advanced equalizer section are not just extra touches in this receiver, but exemplify the considerable thought that has been applied to the overall design and circuit of the SX-1050.
    Other important contributions to flawless sound include the Pioneer Twin Tone Control, the Toroidal-core transformer, the two very large capacitors in the power supply section - all calculated to reproduce the sound spectrum with stability arid full component protection in the inimitable Pioneer style.
