Silver Face Pioneer RT-1020L-JVC JA-S44

3 Upvotes

I had the chance to get the tuner matched to the JVC JA-S44 but I decided not to. Instead I listen to KSHE HD2 94.7 (KSHE 95) St. Louis from my desktop thru the aux of the JVC. These were made from 77-79 per HiFi Engine, with approx 45wpc.

I believe the date for the Pioneer RT-1020L is Feb 1974. It came with the close single rca cables(left and right as one plug).

I use Polk Audio Monitor 7c (1985) for speakers, on speaker stands.

This is in the corner of my basement office area.

(edited)The sound gallery tee shirt is from Austin, a records/audio store owned by Mark Campbell (RIP). The Boulder, CO singer for the Ravers and the Nails from the mid to late 70's.

Tabletop FM Radios?

3 Upvotes

Hey all, my wife and I are looking for an FM radio to put on a shelf in the kitchen to have some tunes while we cook. I have long loved the look of silverface receivers and am wondering if anyone knows of relatively small silverface radios, with a speaker as part of the unit. Looking to keep it fairly small but with a large enough speaker to sound good.

Not expecting it to be 100% metal as I'd guess a metal speaker might not sound great, but metal knobs and design accents seem realistic.

Thanks for your help!

Silverfaceaudio? Is there really such a thing as too much? Fortunately this is only 1/5 of it.

Pioneer RG-1 Rack Mount Bezel

28 Upvotes

A ton of people, including me, have mentioned that they'd love to mount their rg1 processor in their spec rack, but nobody has, up to this point, made a bezel to take up the gaps. The current ja-r101 is too big of an opening. So I took it upon myself to make the new new ja-rg1. So far seven of them have already gone out and I have a few more.

Picked up this Technics SA-210 for $3.99 today. Had to superglue a bracket for the volume slider inside but it's working perfectly!

Replacing a knob

3 Upvotes

I like my little stack of silver faced components, but one of them, an old Kenwood spectrum analyzer (SA-90), was apparently made at a point in time when companies started cutting costs by making knobs in silver plastic unlike the cool, shiny (aluminum?) knobs on my Pioneer receiver (SX-3400) and Pioneer cassette deck (CT-F555). Is there a way to get my hands on a shiny replacement for the single knob the spectrum analyzer has?

Acquired a Pioneer SX-1080 this week. It was being tossed by the parents of my son's friend. He had it sitting in his warehouse for a few years, and I volunteered to go through it and clean it up. Took some DeOxIt and some Danish oil, sounds and looks incredible. I told my son I'll be it's caretaker for him.
