Last night, the blue lights began flickering on my Pioneer SX 1010 receiver. Soon I noticed the smell of burning, or at least very hot, wiring or electronics of some kind. I shut it down. There was no audible problem during all this. Although recently, I have noticed some low frequency "thumping" sounds when I first turn it on.As you can probably tell, I'm not qualified to work on it myself. I know there are plenty of folks I could ship it to. But this thing is a huge beast. It will be difficult and expensive to ship. I would much rather drive it somewhere if I could find a good technician within a couple of hours from me in Charleston, IL.
That means: Champaign/Urbana, Springfield, IL, Bloomington/Normal, IL, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Terre Haute, or someplace in that vicinity.
Any ideas?
Thanks very much in advance.

P.S. I hooked up my old Cambridge Audio integrated as a back up. Jeez! The Pioneer totally blows it away, in every way imaginable.

I just noticed your post..You have a shorted driver transsistor and it took out the resistor or resistors and burnt the board a bit.The reason the lights flickerd is because its sharing the 24vdc source with the panel lights and you may have a shorted outputs in one channel but probably not..Im in Michigan but if you want to email me at merccougar89@yahoo.com I can help you out.

Anybody there?Not only has no one responded to my post, but no one has posted a new topic at all on this board since my post early this morning.
I usually hang out at the vinyl asylum where there is a new post about every minute.
Is this board broken?

Why don't you ask at audiokarma? I think there are some techs in that general area that use that site. Ask in the Vintage Solid State forum or the Pioneer forum.
Very sweet sounding receiver, one of the nicest sounding and deserves to be restored.
I've been trying for two days, and the board won't let me register. Message says "Sorry, registration has been disabled by the administrator."I e-mailed the administrator, but no response yet.
...or something like that. Not sure when issues will be resolved. But you already knew that.
You must have written just as I was posting my little rant.Thanks very much. I will check out out audiokarma.
Best,
Sam
Oh, yeah, they are migrating to a new server and service. Things have been hectic over there for the past week and probably into next week, too.
I visit both AA & AK. Can't get too much of a vintage audio fix ;-)
I was on both AK and AA. I thought AK was a public forum, but be warned, it's not. It is run/owned by one guy, along with a clique of moderators. I posted news and info about an audio event I ran, in their Events section, and was accused of 'self-promotion', banned from AK, very rudely. I had no idea I did anything wrong. It's a good forum and I was grateful for the generous advice I received there, but don't cross the guy in charge, 'Grumpy'.
