Fun, this Pioneer SX-3700 receiver showed up for me this week, the last of the silver faced Pioneer before the full digital champagne series that followed.
This SX-3700 was rated at 45WPC and had a mix of digital and analog tuning, best of all it had the Fluroscan meters so you could watch your music as you listened to it, as was all the rage in the late 70's and early 80's receivers.
This unit is in pretty good shape over all and is missing the original on/off power switch knob. I had an older spare Harman/Kardon one kicking about and stuck it on.
Nice sounding unit for a solid state receiver and if you search the audio threads some think it was better sounding than the generation proceeding this one. I have been noticing these silver faced units are fetching a premium these days.
I will probably keep it in rotation for a bit and let it go to a new owner. Let me know if anyone is interested.
