Pioneer SX-450 Receiver Deluxe Upgrade Kit Genuine Parts Restoration
Our Deluxe Kit for Pioneer Receivers includes everything you need to electronically restore and upgrade the audio sections of your Pioneer. We also sell an ultimate kit for every one of these receivers. This kit uses the exact same high quality parts but does not include parts for the tuning sections or the somewhat optional trimming resistors. This kit is perfect for the budget minded, those who simply don’t use the tuners much, or those new to this work. You may, of course, choose to restore the tuning section at a later date. Our kits use only the highest quality parts from authorized distributors. These kits save you valuable time and headache in sourcing the parts yourself. Having serviced and restored virtually every Pioneer receiver in the past, our kits are accurate and vetted. If you can solder and desolder, consider yourself handy in any other way, and are deliberate and thoughtful, you can do this! Any audio gear over 20 years old can benefit from this procedure. Any unit over 30 years old risks failure of other parts without it. Electrolytic Caps drift and fail with time leading to a less detail, transient response, weak bass and mushy overall sound as well as potential failure leading to costly repair. The sonic difference will likely astound you. Customers consistently tell us how much better their unit sounds after a restoration using our kit. A restored unit also greatly increases its value. We can provide more details on this unit if you’d like. Our documentation isn’t top secret.
