Pioneer Thrift Store Find
I recently came across this old Pioneer SX-60 Stereo receiver at a local Goodwill for just $6. It powered up, but I didn't have speakers, wires, headphones, or any other means of testing it. One push button for "Subsonic" was missing from the front as well. That being said, I really should have bought this neat looking little unit.

According to HiFiEngine, this was an 80 watt per channel, 8-ohm speaker, receiver. According to the backplate, it can handle speakers with impedance from 6 Ohms to 16 Ohms. The front controls are super simple with buttons for Video, CD/Aux, AM, FM, and Phono.
Pioneer SX-60 Receiver Reviews
While the audiophiles over on AudioKarma.org derisively refer to the SX-60 as an example of "Pioneer Plastic" from the 1980s, there are no complaints about sound quality at all. Actual owners seem happy with the sound and the super low bargain price.
