Pioneer SX-737 AM/FM Stereo Receiver – 35 WPC Serviced, Classic 70s Warmth
Experience the golden age of audio with this Pioneer SX-737, a quintessential mid-70s receiver known for its warm, tube-like sound character and robust build quality. Rated at a conservative 35 watts per channel, it delivers far more punch and dynamic headroom than its specs suggest, easily driving most vintage and modern speakers with authority.
This unit has undergone our Level One service and testing which should ensure many more years of reliable performance ahead. It is in good cosmetic condition, retaining its original walnut-vinyl clad cabinet with solid walnut trim accents—a classic look that defined the era.
Warm, Musical Performance:
The SX-737 is celebrated by audiophiles for its “voicing”—a rich, full-bodied sound with deep, tight bass and smooth, non-fatiguing highs. It features a high-quality FM tuner section with a dual-gate MOS FET front end for excellent reception and stereo separation. The phono stage is particularly well-regarded, offering a precise RIAA curve (within ±0.3dB) that brings vinyl to life.
Features:
Versatile Connectivity: Two Phono inputs (great for multiple turntable setups), two Tape loops, AUX, and Microphone input.
Dual Speaker Outputs: Run two pairs of speakers (A, B, or A+B).
Recording Flexibility: Tape-to-tape duplication and monitoring.
Tone Controls: Bass and Treble controls with high and low filters to tailor the sound to your room.
Classic Aesthetics: The signature Pioneer blue dial face, weighted tuning knob, and wood-grain cabinet create a stunning visual centerpiece.

Sherwood S-8250 CP AM/FM Stereo Receiver 25 WPC
Twenty-five watts a channel into 8 ohms from Sherwood's Certified Performance series — the range where Sherwood printed the measured figures for the individual unit rather than for the model. MM phono, noise filter, mute/mono, loudness and A/B speakers, behind a brushed aluminium face with walnut-grain side panels. Level 2 serviced here: bias and DC offset set, every control deoxidised.
JVC JR-S201 Receiver – 35 WPC, Japan, SEA EQ, Excellent
Thirty-five watts a channel at 0.01% distortion with a damping factor of 70 — numbers most larger receivers of 1978 could not reach. A five-band S.E.A. graphic equalizer sits on the front panel at 40, 250, 1k, 5k and 15kHz, alongside MM phono, two tape loops and push-button speaker terminals. Made in Japan, arrived professionally serviced; cosmetically graded Excellent.
Pioneer SX-50 Silver Face Receiver – 50 WPC, Pre-Outs, 1983
Fifty watts a channel into 8 ohms at 0.007% distortion, and — unusually for a receiver this size — pre-out and main-in jacks on the back, so it can feed a subwoofer, take an equalizer in the loop, or hand off to a larger power amp. Introduced in 1983 with switchable CD and TV audio inputs, presets held by three AA cells, and the silver face of the decade that was ending. Graded Very Good.
Kenwood KR-A4070 Stereo Receiver – 60WPC, Phono, Original Remote
Sixty watts a channel into 8 ohms across the full band at 0.01% distortion, with an MM phono input at 2.5mV, a tape monitor loop, and separate bass, treble and balance. The original Kenwood remote is here, which is uncommon on a receiver of this age. Level 1 serviced; cosmetically graded Good, with honest wear for its years.
Sherwood S-7250 CP Stereo Receiver – 20WPC, Phono, Wood Cabinet
Twenty watts a channel into 8 ohms across the full 20 Hz to 20 kHz band, an MM phono input at 80 dB signal-to-noise, and a tape monitor loop. Sherwood built these in small runs in Chicago and sold them through the same shops that carried Marantz and McIntosh. Still in its original wood cabinet. Level 1 serviced here; condition Very Good.
