The more I am thinking about this, the more pissed off I get. really some small scratches I can tolerate, but I hate to say it, this SX looks pretty beat up to me, as far as scratches go. If you were looking at that photo, you would believe that perhaps it was "some small scratches" too, I believe.Īnd skylab, I don't know if I'd keep it, with all the scratches. the picture was taken against the sun, which made any visible problems hard to spot. One other thing that was deceiving to me, was the only photo that was on the ebay listing. It was not the best packing job, but it was double boxed and it had hard foams, on the outer box. when I opened the inner box, it was so tight, I have to cut into the box at the bottom left corner where the heatsinks are, in order to get the receiver out. the seller used an almost exact dimension cardboard box, as the receiver, then packed it in. Cause after all, "good working condition" is just that, good and working and it is not working properly, to say the least. But with all the latest increased in prices of the SX-1250, I thought it was a so so price, as long as I do not have to do a lot of work, and can listen to speakers and headphones. I would not consider this as a bargain, especially compared to the price you paid Skylab, if I remembered correctly from this thread. it was $450 with buy it now, and $75 for the shipping. Guys, out the door cost to me was at $525. Radio Shack's STA-2200, made in their own Korean plantĪfter these there are the usual claims which are contradicted by either manufacturer's brochures or schematics. Has a midrange tone control with selectable turnover frequencies. Scompton's "Reference: 650FET R by Quadraflex". Making a list of all available power amps and integrateds would be a much bigger task, especially if price and obscurity and availability were no objects, or if we were going to include the pro-audio manufacturers like Ashly (correct spelling). The list of non-AVR MOSFET-amp receivers is reasonably short. On the other hand, if you know of a Hafler amp that doesn't use MOSFETs, please let me know which one. There's one guy who repeatedly claims his Mitsubishi MA01 amp is MOSFET, which would come as news to Mitsubishi. I don't think anyone has made a formal list, but you're right, there are people on AK who can't tell a MOSFET antenna input transistor from a MOSFET power transistor. Such a bummer day to be honest.įorget about the description of "good working condition", does this look like "some small scratches"?
But just wanted to see what you guys would do, if you're in my shoes. I am hoping that it will not be a lot on the repair bill, and it will return to its former glory somewhat. if you guys were me, would you go through with the repair at the local shop, and wait it out? obviously by the time they can get to the repair, it would've been long gone on the ebay transaction date.

But, to send it back, I would lose the $75 from the original shipping fee, plus more shipping on my end. And it is currently at a 4 weeks wait since the shop is backlogged. It is running me a $40 bench fee before an actual repair bill can be made. Put it all back and took it to a local shop, which I think it's the only vintage repair shop in the city. I took it apart briefly removing the top wood cabinet and metal plate on top, and it is very dirty. and forget the headphone output it worked for like 3 seconds, then it just has a heavy reverb sound, like I am sitting at the last row of a concert hall. and the sound is barely there, right channel is about 25% audible of the time. lots of deep scratches right on the top metal faceplate. well, those are not some small scratches and it is not in good working condition. Seller described as "good working condition, and some small scratches" after the seller charged $75 to ship it to me, it arrived at my doorstep. I ended up taking a shot, and bought a SX-1250 off ebay.
