This evening work was completed on the Pioneer SX-1010 repair project. The owner of the receiver sent a beautifully restored case and side blocks to be installed before it will be hand delivered when I meet with him this weekend. The receiver is now one of the best looking examples of a 70’s Pioneer SX series receiver and it is so great that it is a flagship model.
Mike,
Thanks for all the hard work you did on my SX-1010 receiver. It looks great but have not received the fan yet to cool the PSB. So, I have not dared to fire it up yet.
Thanks again,
Brian
As long as it is not confined in any sort of cabinet I would fire it right up. I would not recommend put it in any sort of confining cabinet. Besides, why hide that awesome wood case. That vent on top needs to be free and clear to let the heat dissipate. I ran it for over 30 hours on an open audio rack and you can feel the venting through the metal grill. Being in a tight area, I can almost guarantee it will burn up pretty quickly.
