Pioneer SX-5590 - Rebuilt and Ready to Go

Feast your eyes on this stunning Pioneer SX-5590! This is the European version of the SX-1250 and one of the best receivers I have ever come across.


This is sure to put the biggest smile you’ve ever seen on the face of that vintage hifi lover in your life!

This receiver has been professionally rebuilt In a mindful and meticulous manner.

All Electrolytic capacitors have been replaced on every board including the power supply board, flat amp boards, control amp board, equalizer board, protection board, stabilizer board, and both main amp boards.

The power filter caps were also replaced as were the output transistors. We also replaced most of the transistors on the above mentioned boards. We touched up all the boards, reflowing solder all solder joints.

This receiver has been thoroughly tested on every input and output and performs as if it were new.

There are a few cosmetic deficiencies, but other than that this thing is primed and ready to go for another 40-50 years.
