Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a Vintage Stereo Hi-Fi newsgroup. I am
interested in newsgroup of the stereos of the 1970's,

I would be interested in a such a group also. I have a nice collection of
Pioneer receivers from the 70s. SX 838, 939, 1010, 850, 980 and a 1280!

All work except the 850, it recently developed the "protection relay does
not engage" problem. The 1280 I bought with the right channel amp not
working. I actually found the HUGE output transistors for sale and replaced
them (along with a couple of other smaller parts) and now it works fine.
The 1280 will rattle your bones, although the 980 and 1010 are no slouches,
either!

The 838 I actually bought new in 1973, and it still works fine. The others
were all bought within the last 5 years or so.

I also have some nice Teac reel to reels, an X-1000R and 2 X-2000Rs.
