The retail of the Pioneer SX-1980 was $1295. In 2021 dollars = $5,660.33. Not a horrible investment if one used it for that number of years.
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. 😀
