Description
Pioneer SA-500A amplifier. Pioneer TX-500 Analog Tuner. Classic Vintage. Fully revitalized.
In 1937 Nozomu Matsumoto created the first magnetoelectric speaker in Japan, and a year later, in Tokyo, he registered the company under the name Fukuin Shokai Denki Seisakusho. In 1961, the company’s name was changed to Pioneer Electronic Corporation. However, the breakthrough came in 1962, when the company entered the Tokyo Stock Exchange and created the world’s first stereo system with speakers in separate housings. Four years later, Pioneer opened branches in the USA and in Europe. In 1978, the company created one of the best-known and most powerful receivers in its history SX-1980. Pioneer can also be proud of great successes in the world of auto-moto, as it introduced in 1975 the world’s first automotive stereo subassembly, then in 1984 a CD player and GPS navigation in 1990. The company also played a major role in the development of DVDs, plasma TVs and technologies Organic LED display (OLED). The company is currently part of Pioneer & Onkyo Corporation.
Pioneer SA-500A is an amplifier produced in the early 70s, distinguished by very warm and soft sound and a simple, classic front panel. Thanks to high-quality components and solutions (and above all, despite its small size!), this model has very good technical parameters. The SA-500A amplifier was recommended as a set with the Pioneer TX-500 tuner, which is considered a high-class commercial radio receiver.
The front panels made of brushed aluminum, decorated with wooden elements and the leather-covered enclosures add extraordinary elegance. All components have been cleaned and renovated. The wood finish is Chinese oil produced from natural oils. The wood is nice to the touch. Potentiometers in perfect condition. The devices have been fully reviewed and serviced.
New blue illumination of the front panel.
Collector’s items. The devices are in perfect condition!
