What to know before buying a Pioneer SX receiver
Every Pioneer SX receiver from the 1970s is now 45 to 50 years old. Original capacitors degrade predictably. Budget $200 to $400 for professional recapping if buying an unrestored unit. The SX-1250 and SX-1050 are what buyers most want to find. The SX-780 offers the best value for buyers who want the look without the flagship price. LED lamp upgrades are common on these models and do not affect value either way.
