REFURBISHED;

This Pioneer SX-650 has undergone careful servicing with emphasis on functional accuracy, electrical reliability, and preservation of original character.

Electrical & Functional Service

All lamps replaced, restoring correct dial and indicator illumination

Power supply and amplifier sections inspected and verified stable

Internal cleaning performed to remove dust and aging residue

Cabinet & Cosmetic Work

Wood cabinet side rails replaced with newly made wooden pieces, matched to original style and proportions

Front panel, knobs, and switches cleaned for smooth, consistent operation

Input / Output Testing

All signal paths were individually tested:

AUX input tested

PHONO input tested

TAPE input and monitor functions tested

Speaker outputs tested for both channels

Channel balance and signal integrity were confirmed across left and right outputs.

Tuner Section

FM tuner tested for stable reception and tuning accuracy

AM tuner tested and confirmed operational

Dial tracking and signal behavior verified during extended operation

Signal Measurement & Waveform Testing

To verify amplifier stability and channel accuracy, this Pioneer SX-650 was measured using a Hantek DSO2D15 digital storage oscilloscope.

A reference sine-wave signal was injected into the amplifier input

Output waveforms of both left and right channels were monitored simultaneously

Waveforms displayed clean, symmetrical sine shapes with no visible clipping, oscillation, or distortion

Channel amplitude and phase behavior were consistent, confirming proper balance and stable gain

Measurements confirmed normal operating behavior of the power amplifier stage under continuous signal load

This waveform testing confirms that the amplifier delivers clean, stable output and that the power section is functioning correctly

Final Test

Full internal and external cleaning completed

Receiver operated for extended listening and monitoring time to ensure stable, noise-free performance
