darth vader Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Item: Pioneer spec system. 2 racks and speakersLocation:Ballarat, VicPrice: $14500 without TT, $16000 with.Item Condition: Very good to excellentReason for selling:Moving onPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: This is a cut and paste of the ad thats scheduled for later this week on ebay. All is the same except lower price for here and without the ebay guff. Serious auditions welcome. Any questions answered to the best of my ability. Make an offer if you want, lowballers will be ignored. Dont ask me if I want to seperate it, the answer is no. ----- Complete Spec system on offer Same drill, if your looking, you probably know what your looking at. This is a serious collection, one of the best one in the country. Live the dream. All units are multi voltage so no need for step up transformers, or could run on different country voltages. All facias are 9.5 out of 10 for appearance, all lettering intact. Spec 1 serviced 2 years ago. Spec 2 and 4 recent service with blue LED's installed EQ, reverb and dynamic processor switches all function correctly. Spec 1 will run both Spec 2 and 4 amps Can be hooked up in a mind boggling amount of combinations, but I like to set it up with both amps running their own speakers. With total of 420 watts (150 and 270) RMS, theres no shortage of power. Rack 1 JA-R2S RT-909 with PP-220A large reel hub adaptors and 2 BASF take up reels CT-F1250 with JA-R102 rack mount handles TX- 9500II in JA-R101rack shelf Spare JA-R101rack shelf (for CD or digital network perhaps) Rack 2 JA-R2s Spec 1 preamp, has modified remote control volume pot (original pot included) SG-9800 Graphic EQ (illuminated sliders) in JA-R101 rack shelf RG-2 Dynamic processor with JA-R104 rack mount tags SR-303 Reverb amp with JA-R104 rack mount tags Spec 2 power amp, recently serviced with new relays installed Spec 4 power amp, complete overhaul, many parts replaced HPM-100 Speakers. 200 watt version. Crossovers re capped with Janzen Capacitors (some marks on one cone) HPM-900 Speakers. 200 watt Both sets of speakers come with grilles. The 100's grilles are showing signs of age. PL-30LII with Ortofon 2M black cart and graphite straight arm. Arm damping. Interconnects included Things to know; Spec 1 wont play on phono 1 (selector switch faulty, new one supplied) Phono 2 is fine. CT-F1000 needs FF and REW belts replaced (supplied, Play belt has been replaced) Phono has internal transformer removed for noise reduction and needs external power supply Japanese version (240V power supply and original 100V transformer included) TX-9500II tuner needs servicing and alignment. Rack screws are not original Pioneer ones. They have plastic washers, no rack rash. If you are interested and are doing comparative pricing, be sure to look for multi voltage units as US ones are often 110 volt only, include shipping to somewhere you can pick it up. You wont find them all in one place like this so add shipping to each component. Add duties for the high price items. Also, allow for the risk that the items may be faulty or need some work. Final value on e bay may not be your final spend, so look for reconditioned/guaranteed working items from good seller. After that, you'll find the asking price pretty good. Buyer will also get Pioneer floor rug and first option on some RTR tape. Pictures: 14
Fair Play Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 If I win Tatts im buying this! Super impressive system GLWTS 2
Prana69 Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Wow, that's some nice Pioneer Fluoroscan gear! Lots of love around here. The kit is way out of my league, but I am interested in the history. I get pretty nostalgic about Pioneer hi-fi, so would love to know how / when you acquired it. D
darth vader Posted May 23, 2017 Author Posted May 23, 2017 @Prana69 a p..p..piece from here, a p..p..piece from there. I put it together over the last 10 years or so. Some was found locally, some was imported, some was swapped out for better examples. It was inspired by this Pioneer ad from the late 70's and I just didn't know when to stop. 12

Wil Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Hi There, Would you sell the 900's seperately? I would be interested.
gator2310 Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Marvellous setup - I bet it sounds incredible - a dream for someone with the readies.
Guest yamaha_man Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 If I hadn’t just bought one last week I would be all over this.

darth vader Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 @Wil I could possibly be convinced to let them go...probably pretty easily @yamaha_man As flash as it was, no match for a Gryphon. They did make some receivers in black for the Euro market. I've seen a Spec 1 and 4 in black but not sure if it was factory original.
darth vader Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 @gator2310 As expected it got parted out, most sold on fleabay. Still got a rack and a Spec 4 left.

darth vader Posted July 12, 2018 Author Posted July 12, 2018 It was a pretty intense trip Theres still a Spec 4 amp left. Its time for it to go. Think it might need a listing of its own
