Pioneer SX-1280 MONSTER Receiver Repair

This all original Pioneer SX-1280 had been sitting broken for over 10 years before it showed up on the bench in this video. It would not power on, and once it did, there was some static in the controls. I fixed these issues in the video and also set the amplifier bias and DC offset.

For how to use DeOxit, I recommend the video by xraytonyb:    • How to Clean & Resurrect an Embalmed ...   I had created a video on this, but I used D5 on the pots in the video, which is wrong. I should have used F5 on the pots, as Tony explains in his video. D5 is the proper choice for switches, while F5 is proper for potentiometers and sliders.
