cleaning vintage receivers

Category: Amplifiers

I just picked up some fine Vintage Pioneer receivers at the local Thrift shop

Pioneer sx-450 a little static in the knobs oxidation outside veneer slight peel

Pioneer sx-424 mint but needs speaker plugs

Pioneer sx-780 looks mint, a little change inside(pennies) have powered on but have not hooked up speakers yet.

I was reading a thread from Petsound that got me started on this path and would like some suggestions on taking proper care of these treasures.

Thanks

Miles,

It sounds like you might find the Pioneer Audio section over at www.audiokarma.org interesting. It is full of guys heavily and incurably addicted to vintage receivers.

Viridan's advice is pretty sound and cautious, so I'll second that (although I'm too impatient for the four day variac thing...)

Good luck!

- Harald
