Need some help from my fellow Audiofiles. I'm in the market to put together a 1970's era pioneer system. I want to start with a really good receiver. I like the QX-9900 as I posted yesterday but I have found through some research that they are very rare and definitely hard to find in mint condition.
That being said, I'm willing to budget around $1,000 for a receiver. Through my research I have determined that the Pioneer SX-780 through SX-1250 are the most common and easiest to work on. I realize a lot of it has to do with personal preference based on experience, but I would like to know from the guys that have had a few or all of these models which ones are the best built and which ones will be the easiest to work on if they were to need repair/restoration.
Thanks in advance for all the advice.
