I’ve worked on a couple. All wires are soldered instead of plugs. You can try search under Pioneer SK21 restorations. ;-)
Bill has even used a Pantie Hose of "Marilyn Monroe" for fixing the speaker grills of Pioneer! That gentleman knows all the tricks of the trade! :lol:

So how does this fix this poor ole' box? Needs knobs cleaned, balance only works on right side.,shorts out with volume all the way down on left {blasts!}and looks like it was duesd in POP!
Was an old broadcast school owned in my home-town area. I'm sure many students had their grubs on it in the day...

Definetly needs good cleaning inside and out. All switches and pots cleaned. Your best bet is to read some of the restoration pages ;-). It’s not an easy box to restore
