Listing is for a well cared for (NEAR MINT 9/10 OR BETTER) VINTAGE PIONEER SX-850 RECIEVER/AMPLIFIER in EXCELLENT WORKING ORDER. (Non-Smoking ,No Pet household). Cosmetically near perfect with only a very minor nicks on rear edge of wooden case as shown in pics. All functions work as they should with no known issues whatsoever and inside is squeaky clean especially considering it\'s a 30+ year old audio classic. All lamps are also present and in working order. I purchased this unit from a friend who claims it was professionally serviced (not repaired as it has never failed)approx. 2 yrs ago but he no longer had receipts on hand to reflect this or what exactly was done. At any rate I feel this thing has lots of life leftas it is now and/or would make an excellent restoration worthy collectablepiece needing very little to be considered \"MINTY\"or \"PERFECT\" in my opinion. (65 watts per channel x 2) More info/pics available upon request. I can assure you this item will be re-tested upon packaging and re-confirmed to be in working order when shipped (and hopefully when delivered), however due to its age ,as with most all vintage gearwe sell, this unit is being sold as-is. I am experienced in SAFELY PACKAGING very fragile and/or overweight items for transport , excessive padding and double boxed etc.., Fortunately as of yet suffering no-losses out of hundreds shipped (fingers crossed).REASONABLE OFFERS MAY BE CONSIDERED! FREE SHIPPING TO CONT. U.S. IS INCLUDED WITH BUY IT NOW PURCHASE ONLY UNLESS OTHERWISE CLEARLY ADDRESSED AND AGREED UPON PRIOR TO PURCHASE!

The Pioneer SX-850 is a high power AM/FM stereo receiver with super-quiet phono equalizer and outstanding FM selectivity/sensitivity.

How do you know when to trust a stereo receiver to fill your musical needs?

Power output by itself is not much help, because unless your listening room is the size of a concert hall, a receiver with far less than concert-hall-sized output will do nicely.

The answer, obviously, is to put your trust in the circuitry the kind that you\'ll enjoy in the pioneer SX-850.

It delivers a continuous power output of 65 watts per channel, min RMS at 8 ohms, from 20 to 20,000 Hertz, with no more than 0.1% total harmonic distortion.

But even more importantly, it has the strength and finesse to handle that power with a healthy respect for musicality.

The SX-850 has a super-quiet phono equalizer in a 3-stage direct-coupled design to achieve wide dynamic range and +- 0.2dB RIAA equalization accuracy.

A FET in the Tone Control section, plus a 2-step frequency turnover switch for Bass and another for Treble, 2-deck monitor/dubbing, 2-system speaker drive, separable pre/main and more, mean further control versatility.

The superb FM/ AM section uses a dual-gate MOS FET and a 4-gang variable capacitor to boost sensitivity and selectivity, a PLL IC in the multiplex to improve stereo separation, and a special Integrated Circuit in the AM for still better reception and less noise.

It\'s the Pioneer SX-850 - the one you can trust to keep faith with your musical needs.
