I’m selling a lovely vintage Pioneer SA-8500 MK-II Stereo Amplifier.


Made in Japan


240v model


Dual transformer design - The sound signature is typical Pioneer of the period sporting a wonderful analogue experience 


Specifications below thanks to www.hifiengine.com


Power output: 60 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo)


Dimensions: 420 x 150 x 376mm


Weight: 13.9kg


The amplifier works as it should on both channels and on all inputs - bias is set to factory spec and the amp has had all its electrolytic capacitors replaced excluding the original power supply capacitors. All controls have been cleaned for smooth and quiet operation. Original NEC output transistors in place.


Presented in very good cosmetic condition with minor imperfections in line with its age - the lid has some surface rust and serial number engraved I was going to get this powder coated but opted to keep original to let the new owner decide to leave it or have it repainted to their desired colour.


Overall presents very nice but most importantly sounds wonderful.


Melbourne pick up only due to the size and weight of this amp


A donation will made to stereo net post the sale
