Only the top dogs have exorbitant prices. I have a few vintage pieces, such as a Pioneer SA-8800 and SX-3800. I bought mine either mint or refurb and I did it strictly as eye candy, although they sound the same as today's amps. Compared to today's bland black faceless offerings, the 70's silver-faced pieces are pure art.
Unreal prices
Watching a YouTube video about receiver wars of 1970 piqued my interest so I checked eBay.
Pioneer SX-1950 going for $5000 plus.
My lowly SX-1050 going for $1700.
Those prices, with deflation to the 70s, are list prices back then. Kept their value. 😀
