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. 😀

Just last week sold my 70,s Sanyo JCX2400K receiver that was the hub of my second system which I decided to dismantle.
I know what I paid for it and listed it on eBay for a goodly amount more than that figuring somebody would make an offer sooner or later.
Darn thing sold in about 3 hours at my asking price.

Sanyo was very overlooked in the Japanese hifi wars and considered to be the poor relation.
This thing was built like a tank and everything worked and sounded pretty good to my ears, loved the tone controls, filters and loudness switches etc.
Somebody should be happy with their new toy.
