SELLING FOR PARTS, NEEDS REPAIR,NO RETURN.
THIS IS THE ULTRA RARE PIONEER C-77 PREAMP JAPANESE MODEL!!! IT IS SPEC 1 IN USA, AND CAME OUT ONE YEAR BEFORE THE SPEC1. ONE DIFFERENCE IS THAT WITH THIS ONE YOU CAN USE THE HEADPHONE JACK WITHOUT HAVING AN AMP HOOKED TO IT, WHEREAS THE SPEC 1 MUST HAVE AN AMP TO USE HEADPHONES. THATS A NICE FEATURE. IT IS COSMETICALLY IN VERY NICE CONDITION. (SEE PICS). ALL KNOBS ARE THERE AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I BOUGHT THIS RECENTLY, TO REPLACE MY SPEC 1, BUT THEN SPENT THE MONEY TO GET MY SPEC 1 FIXED, SO I AM SELLING THIS. EVERYTHING SEEMS TO WORK GOOD EXCEPT THE VOLUME CONTROL HAS A CRACKLE BETWEEN EACH NOTCH AS IT GOES UP. WHEN IT\'S IN EACH NOTCH THE SOUND IS THERE.HOWEVER IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING MORE THAN A DIRTY CONTROL.ALSO I NOTICED THAT THE BALANCE KNOB HAS NO EFFECT MEANING THAT OUTPUT IS EQUAL RT AND LEFT REGARDLESS OF POSITION OF THE BALANCE CONTROL.Comes with 100 volt step down transformer included, THIS IS A RARE PREAMP AND ALMOST NEVER COMES UP FOR SALE. THIS IS SOLD AS IS AND SINCE ITS OVER 30 YEARS OLD,I WILL NOT ACCEPT A RETURN OF THIS ITEM.
THIS WILL NEED MORE THAN DEOXIT.
NO RETURN
