my experience with the sx1010; replace the relay, replace all transistors on both amps, the protect board, regulated power supply , phono board and flat amp.as far as recap, at minimum, the regulated power supply. new trimpots on the amp boards as well. i also remove the wires from the undersides of the amp boards. the heatsinks can remain in place and the boards flip up nicely for servicing. there are also a couple bad caps and problematic transistors on the tuner board. my approach on this unit is not to repair, it's to repair and prevent. it's a piece of audio history. it deserves it. the 1010 is the only pioneer that i can sit down and listen to for hours on end with no listener fatigue. rock n roll brother!🎸
Ideally on a nice worthy receiver / piece of audio, all such work (and then some) should be done. We'll see what the customer is going to be willing to put into this nice ole unit, it's not fully known at this point. Sounds like you did a great job on the unit/s you've had the opportunity to service, keep on keepin on, have a nice weekend! 🙂
@@retroelectrotech after over a year of searching, i finally found a dial pointer for mine. i swear that you can build an entire 1010 from ebay parts MINUS the dial pointer...and it's common across the 838,939 and 1010. still very hard to come by. very brittle too. i'd rather do 10 sx1010s instead of this one marantz 2245 i'm doing now. seviceability was not on their minds.
@@josephlalock8378 Yup, some parts like your dial pointer can be difficult to source. I fabricate what I can, but I have a limited setup to do so nowadays. There's always been a need for me to produce certain "workaround" parts, in fact, there was a time I did a lot of plastic parts the old school way, i.e. produce a mold and pour the resin etc., especially for potentiometer knobs and so forth. It can get tedious, but ideally that's the way to go if possible, instead of hunting all over the earth for difficult parts to source. I'm looking more and more into justifying the expense for a good 3D printer to meet those needs, especially if I decide to produce more parts. I'm sure that's the direction I'll be heading once I can make the investment in $ and the time to learn the ins and outs of such a gadget. But for now I'm still doing it caveman style, carving parts by hand, a few power tools, and producing molds and pouring resins. But in the end it eats up a lot of time, especially now that I'm a one man show, so, it's time for a more efficient solution.
You can find them all over the net, just search under the term "jewelers scratch pen", I think I may have got my last set of them on eBay, but again, you'll find them all over. Just get the ones with the "fiberglass fibers", they work nicely on contacts etc.

where did you get that scatch pen? having one would things alot easier
