In 1976 I bought this beast. Pioneer SX-1050. Don't know what it weighed then but now it is 50 lbs. :) It was used with my JBL Dorian S12 speakers which I bought in the late 60s and still have. Apparently it sold for around $700 then. Which was almost a months take home pay for me. Now they are on eBay for $260 and up.
What I love about the Pioneer was the feature set. 3 sets of speakers, main IN-OUT jumpers, 4 band EQ, tape loop, 120 watts, etc.

It has not been used for 10+ years. I bought a Variable Voltage Regulator just to fire this thing up.
How should I fire this up and what should I look, listen, smell for as I move up to 120 volts?
