Hi Steve

I've just seen your post...

Yes i love the older generation of Pioneer most of my HI-FI is Pioneer so i had to grab this....I have just got round to cleaning the switches & polishing the knobs & facia and shes very shiny....i'm gonna test later on this afternoon too see if it works..I have my test speakers out and ready to go....I'm very surprised that other members of the forum have not commented on this i think its a beautiful looking piece...
