I used to own a Pioneer RT-909, I miss that, but willing to settle for a RT-707.
got it
I've always wanted a SPEC-1/SPEC-2. I fell in love with those 30 years ago. Last fall I started looking and a couple months ago managed to get both.
As far as the questions goes and my current mind set. I "want" any 70s vintage Pioneer other than TT or speakers cheap, as in SCROE!
There is a rare o-scope thing I've seen posts on that would be too cool to find but I don't hold out much hope of tripping over one of those.
The one other thing I've been lusting for since the 70s is the Marantz 500. I missed a chance many years ago due to lack of funds (and it was relatively CHEAP). Now, I don't hold much hope to find one reasonable.

I've come close to buying the Spec separates a few times. Now, with my space for gear soon to become much more limited, and with even better components "in the house", I doubt I'll ever get them (unless I move somewhere else with ample room for multiple systems and accumulate a lot more money to spend on gear and get re-bitten with the collecting bug... 
)
But there are still two Pioneer components I'd love to get:
1. An Exclusive P3a turntable. This is one of the few TTs that I believe might out-perform my GT-2000 sonically, and would definitely outshine it in terms of appearance. I've seen and heard one, and it really was a "dream" turntable, but it was outside my budget at the time. Since I already have the PL-L1 and PL-C590, there aren't any other Pioneer TTs I'd want.
2. Recently someone posted a pic of a "display unit" with meters and a 'scope. [EDIT: Thanks to xlbee's post below, I can add that this is the SD-1000 or SD- I100. Thanks, xlbee!] didn't know such a thing even existed, before the post. It had a classic silver-fronted look, and that scope was just COOL. I WANT ONE OF THOSE, too! :yes: But given the choice of only one, I'd pick the P3a, first.

not me
I found the SPEC-2 locally on CL and then picked up a SPEC-1 on ebay for opening bid...so it wasn't me outbidding you. I probably paid all they are worth but they are worth it. The SPEC-2 is almost pristine and the SPEC-1 is OK condition, some scratches and dings but nothing really terrible. They are every bit of what I expected and probably more.

I'd like to have one of those silver faced equalizers - SG-9500 or some such - for the times when a bad recording demands it. I'm easily pleased. 'Course I wouldn't refuse any of that other stuff everyone's lusting for...
