the list of standard restoration steps <a href=\"https:\/\/solidstatestereo.com\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">detailed on the main page<\/span><\/a>, here are some added notes for this unit<\/em> :<\/p><p>I bought this from a local collector and was told it was fully functional\u00a0 Exterior condition was very good.<\/p><p>The SX727 was Pioneer&#8217;s 2nd from the top of the line receiver in 1972.\u00a0 It has a direct-coupled amplifier with speaker protection circuitry and relay.\u00a0 Very well built and last year they used real wood veneer cabinets across the product line.\u00a0 These were sold alongside other Pioneer classics like the SA9100\/TX9100 and many argue this was the apex of Pioneer build quality\/sound.<\/p><p>Pioneer was also still pushing their proprietary &#8220;speaker plug&#8221; scheme which was actually not that bad, but never became a standard.\u00a0 As this is now seen by many as a detriment, I upgraded all 3 speaker systems to modern 5-way terminals (see photos).<\/p><p>Initial visual inspection and power-up were uneventful as this unit was in excellent condition inside and out.\u00a0<\/p><p>After cleaning all the switches and pots, initial functional testing also went well except for the tuning meter which seemed to be sticking.\u00a0 I installed a replacement meter to remedy this.<\/p><p>The tuner needed some cleaning\/tweaking to perform as intended.\u00a0 Sounds quite nice now.<\/p><p>Recap went smoothly with a modest up-capping of the 2 main amplifier supply caps from ~7500uF (measured) to ~9400uF (measured).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Final functional tests all passed.<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Note on pricing<\/span> : SX727s are fairly common with some going for ~$300 (+ shipping).\u00a0 I bought this one for $300 and added another ~ $300 before the restoration was complete.\u00a0 The 5-ways alone cost me $75.\u00a0 You get what you pay for
