I started an eBay store selling older audio knobs...Now people want pots, amp boards, feet you name it...I have boxes of this stuff from tearing down dead stereos...Pioneer, Kenwood, Sansui, Marantz, Rikko, NAD etc...It takes alot of time identifying parts, seeing what other models its compatible with...I need service manual help...Part number sheets...I also want the store to be a friends store...Talking, finding, sharing, bragging...lol...I will simply be the center point...Lets get this neighborhood going...Help me help all the other Vintage audio lovers here on eBay and around the world...Howard

Just received the following items:
Pioneer SX-580
Pioneer SX-650
Technics SA-500
Pioneer SX-737

I have a 100% operational Pioneer SX-626 available...I bought it as working...I tore it down, faceplate off etc...Deoxit the controls, brushing of circuit boards and good air blow out...General all around cleaning...All lamps work, controls smooth and noise free...You might get a static here or there as the control get exercised and fully seal the contacts...Nice little receiver...Tested with Pioneer HPM 60's, Pioneer SG-9 Equalizer, Sony CD Player, Pioneer CT-F750 Cassette and Denon DP-15F Turntable...This requires the speaker plugs in the back...Thet are sold seperate and are available...All my receivers and amps are tested with the mentioned external audio gear...If it's not 100%, it's parts...
