Pioneer SX-828 recap and repair

I'm going to be recapping, repairing and upgrading the SX-828 I just got in the last post. I just repaired the antenna mount with a replacement part given to me by a Audiokarma member off his parts unit. Thank you, Noodle!

Another score!

Just got a Pioneer SX-828, SX-680, SX-650, SG-9500 and a Sherwood S-7200 for $100! All of them are needing cleaned cosmetically and the pots and switches as well, the 828 also has a broken antenna mount and is missing the jumpers, but all of them work! The guy I got this stuff off of was the original owner of the SG-9500.

Here are some before photos of the 828, it's very dirty, more then the photos show. More to follow of the other stuff.

A sample of the dirt that's on it.

Pioneer SX-626 recap job

I'm recapping the 626 I mentioned in a earlier post, the caps I'm using are Nichicon PW caps for the power supply and general purpose caps and Nichicon KL for the solid aluminum low noise caps, and any thing under 1uF gets Panasonic ECQ film caps. I'm also replacing two transistors that are known for becoming leaky and noisy with age.

More photos of the receiver! This one is very unusual as it has champagne colored letters! Very rare, I've never seen another 626 like it. It's almost mint, the wood case is about as clean as you can get, and the faceplate only has a few small marks on it.

Pioneer SX-1000TW

Here is the 1000TW I got as part of the lot with the HPM's, I cannot believe how nice this thing is, photos can't do it justice, but I'll try.

Biggest score to date...

I just got a set of Pioneer HPM-100's, the 200 watt versions, a SX-1000TW, a QL-600 and QT-2100 8 track tape player, a Nikko NA-890 amp and NT-890 tuner and a Sansui R-5, all for $150! The Nikko stuff is a little rough, the treble pot on the amp has the shaft broken off and the tuner is missing the power switch cover, but both power up and work, also the R-5 is missing the volume knob, but all the Pioneer stuff is in excellent to near mint condition. The two Nikkos and the Sansui were thrown in for free, so I took them. I'm doing a happy dance right now, the HPM's were my dream speakers and now I have my own!

Here are the HPM photos, more photos of the other stuff to follow.

And here is the rest of the gear!
