Built by Valco for montgomery ward. I believe a 1971. There is alot of humm buzz coming from the amp. Where the middle light is the plastic is broke. It powers on and you can play a instrument through it. Its not 100% playable condition and needs shopped. It seems like the reverb had some troubles. I replaced two 12ax7 tubes with new JJ’s as the old ones where micro-phonic. It may have more bad tubes. The reverb circuit seemed to make a bunch of unwanted noise. YOU WILL HAVE TO PICK IT UP AT THE NEAREST BUS STATION TO YOU. Most bus station or within 25 miles of somebody’s house. Most people don’t mind picking up there items as its normally not that far. If you have any questions please ask. However i could be way off base. You can make a offer and see if i will take.

Vintage All Tube Audiophile Amplifier w Ceramic and Mag Phono. 115 / 230 Volts. Very Well Cared For. Comes with Original Manual. Tube Compliment: 12AX7 Audio – 7868 Power – 6AN8 Phase inv Driver – 6BA6, 6BE6, DA79, 0A70 Radio Tubes. UPDATE: From what I have read online about this amplifier, it was only offered in Japan and was heavily marketed towards military personal. This would explain its rarity in the United States and the multi-voltage switch on the back for 215 / 230 volts. It seems that only units brought back to the USA by USA military personal make up the current inventory in the States. This is how my friends Father acquired this unit. Up for sale is a piece of Pioneer history, the all vacuum tube SX-2000 receiver / amplifier. Made in Japan and very rare to find in this condition it uses three 12AX7 audio amplifier tubes, four 7868 power amp tubes and two 6AN8 phase inversion driver tubes. The sound is amazing and the the build integrity is impressive. To his knowledge it is 100% original besides a replaced tube many years ago. Can run on 115 and 230 volts. The amplifier powers on and the sound is clear and amazing!! All functions seem to be in excellent working condition. The phono section was tested with a Dual 1219 and it works great. The treble and bass controls work and the filter and loudness functions work. I could not get the FM stereo light to come on so that might need replacing. Normal signs of age for a vintage piece like some wear and scratches but overall in very good condition with no surprises or issues. Although it seems to work well this receiver may need to be gone over by a tech to check and measure the tubes and capacitors, I imagine it would sound even better with a full cap job. Its working great but it has not been serviced or restored. It will be packed professionally and securely. Watch Video Belo w. Pioneer SX-2000 Tube Receiver Amplifier – YouTube.
