Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: Pioneer 70's gear

Recapped, yes. However look at the construction. Metal, not plastic. Discrete parts, including TO3 metal case power transistors.

1970s and VERY early 1980s Japanese consumer electronics was a superb value that drove American manufacturers out of business. American brands remained, but production was sent to the orient.

By the mid 1980s, the quality of Japanese mass market consumer electronics had significantly declined.
