Another Pioneer receiver?!?

Wow Lee, I am humbled! Thank you very much for such a generous offer!

But I think more than just shipping cost is fair- risking a hernia lifting the other stuff!

And, if you need anything I can help with, please let me know. I can’t think of anything you might need of me, but the offer stands.

Happy holidays!

Jim, I've had the stuff around here for years, time to move some of it. It may not work, never plugged it in. Are you still interested if it doesn't power up??

 

[J!m]

I’ll take the chance if you will.

They like to hide fuses I’m finding (or did find on my 580) although it was not bad in my case.

If it’s a total door stop I’ll part it out and send you half the proceeds. But I’m thinking it still has a bit of “piss off the neighbors” left in it.

No need to send me anything Jim, other than shipping. I'll get er dug out and on the variac and see what happens..

 

[J!m]

That’s awesome. Thank you very much.

I actually own a variac. It’s blue I think. Shiny even. Brand new. No fu—- idea where it is. Maybe in the garage… I need to find it if I keep messing with this old junk…

It powers up...DC offset is high at .065 vfc, all the lights appear to work. I also have a 780 sevicemanual and owners manual on pdf....pm your address Jim..

 

[J!m]

Houston, we have main engine start!

PM inbound- but no rush with the holiday shipping nonsense… whenever it’s convenient for you.

PayPal as soon as we have an estimate.

 

[laatsch55]

Sounds good Jim....yeah it should be shipped after Christmas...

 

[J!m]

Schweeeeeeeet.

Looking forward to it! I wouldn’t have much time for it until after Christmas (maybe next year), so that’s perfectly fine.

 

[laatsch55]

Coolness....

 

[J!m]

Indeed!

Thank you, Santa!
