REFURBISHED

This Pioneer SX-1010 has been fully refurbished and customized to a high standard, ensuring both stunning looks and top performance:

• Complete Recap: All electrolytic capacitors in the power supply, preamp, tuner, and amplifier sections were replaced with high-grade audio capacitors. This stabilizes the power rails, improves clarity, and extends long-term reliability.
• Power Supply & Protection: The power supply was rebuilt, with rectifiers and voltage regulators tested and replaced where needed. The protection relay was replaced with a new unit for clean and reliable speaker switching.
• Amplifier & Tuner Calibration: Bias, DC offset, and tuner alignment were carefully adjusted using professional test equipment to meet or exceed factory specifications. This ensures balanced channel output, low distortion, and precise FM/AM reception.
• Illumination Upgrade: All dial, meter, and function lamps were replaced with new vivid blue lamps, creating the iconic Pioneer glow against the black anodized faceplate.
• Controls & Switches: Every knob, switch, and potentiometer was cleaned and lubricated to eliminate static noise and guarantee smooth operation.
• Faceplate & Cosmetics: The black anodized aluminum faceplate was laser-engraved with crisp lettering and carefully detailed. Knobs and meters were polished to restore their original brilliance.
• Wood Cabinet: The cabinet was custom-finished with black side panels combined with walnut side cheeks, creating a striking two-tone contrast that enhances the receiver’s bold black/blue aesthetic.
• Extended Testing: The unit was bench-tested for hours at various loads. All functions, from phono stage to tuner and aux, were verified for stability and performance.

Result: A fully restored and customized Pioneer SX-1010 Black Edition — combining the legendary power and sound of the first 100W receiver with a dramatic black/blue aesthetic and a unique two-tone wood cabinet design.
