Pioneer SA-9800 Integrated Amplifier - A Vintage 'Made in Japan' Monster ... Click images to enlarge Description Pioneer SA-9800
Vintage Integrated AmplifierThis monster shelf-bender was designed and manufactured during the late 70’s & early 80’s - when Pioneer separates were ‘Made in Japan’ and built without compromise. What a shame it doesn’t work.
It was brought to us in June 2018 for repair. Our tech guy took it, warned that it wasn’t going to be cheap but the OK was given to proceed. He did some work on it, removed the power supply board and was investigating further when the owner informed us she had now changed her mind and didn’t want to proceed with the repair. She also refused to come and collect it. Consequently, this has been sitting on our repair shelf for over a year. As you can see from pictures 15, 16, 17 & 18 - our tech guy made it safe, before re-fitting the now disconnected and clearly faulty power supply board.
So….. This is offered here strictly ‘For Parts or Not Working’. The wood surround is quite nasty but the front fascia is in pretty nice physical condition (see close-up pictures - nothing is hidden), so could be a perfectly viable project for someone with the necessary expertise.
