Can anyone guess why the front isn't lighting up from this photo?

Hint: There is 4 reasons why. Or 4 missing reasons why.

Missing bulbs in those holes....................

Yep, also it looks like someone did some work on it at some point. There are a couple plastic retention clips, that hold some things to the main metal body, missing.

I'm not upset though. I paid $50 for it to sound good not be in immaculate condition.

Bulbs are $6 for a three pack at Batteries Plus...be sure to get 6v

My aunt and Uncle had a Carver and it stopped working (that's all they said) and you know what they did with it?!?! they THREW IT AWAY! ohhhhohohohohoho I was so pissed! Imagine how many people have just 'thrown away' these good receivers. I mean it was the ugliest receiver in the world but jeeze! 

 
Oh, that's tragic! Probably just need a fuse or something...

Okay, after having a pretty exciting 2+ hour listening session, I'm really happy with the sound. The treble is a bit bright though, but by no means off putting. It stands out compared to the bass but in a good way. I just wish the bass had the same kind of emphasis the treble has to it. But this could also be from the Sennheiser sound signature.

I'm saving up for LCD 2s now. (Subject to change without notice.) So, we'll have to see what it sounds like with those.

I'm also trying to decide if I want to spend $$$ to do a full restore/re-cap on the SX-850 or leave it as is with just a little work till I come across a better piece.

Your life will soon be occupied by hunting CL and garage sale. Be warned!

I think that a recap would be worth it depending on the price. You can usually find someone to do it reasonably priced. You'll also be surprised at how much better the amp may sound once you get the recap done.

Very cool and very rare. So you essential just scored the black face version of the sx1250. Wow, now you know you have to post tons of pics of that once you received it. Congrats on a really great score.

anyone know how the pioneer sx-1010 compares to sx-780 and sansui 7070 as far as sound signature?
