Hi everyone-I finally got my 2nd.Pioneer boombox today!
It's a SK-550 and I got it for only $30.50!!
First of all there is some marks on the top-just paint fade marks that's it!
The front and the sides and back are in excellent condition!
Noe when I bought this I knew about the tape deck not working and the one side not being a sloud as the other/
So after a good cleaning & detailing I got right into it-The deck with a twist of the capstan released the deck and now it's all working!!
Oh the very,vert tip of the antenna is missing but works great! 99% there!
Then the right side not being as loud,some tapping on the bottom made it come in so upon diassembling the back & looking I found it was just a loose power plug on the board!
Now that's all fixed then the dial light was going in & out so upon further insoection the lead broke off the bulb. so I put a green LED which was to dim for the job. :hmmm:
Just a need a dial light now and the only other thing I noticed was the RecMute-M.S button board was broke!
It's needs a new one-it's craked in half!
I tried to repair but it's going to be replaced if not I will try to fix it but this would be a easy replacement.
The Music scanner works but just for 1 song advance,the switch is not going to work until I replace that little board.
Man this thing rocks!! :yes:
It sounds great and I like that you can keep the dial light on like my CK-5!
I even cleaned the woofers & the grills and this thing is cool!!
Just need a little board for the music scanner-rec, mute thing and a dial light but it works fantastic!
The deck is great now!!
Photos tomorrow!
I'm happy the SK-550 rocks!
Have a great weeka Boomin'-GB. :-) :yes: :choco: :breakdance: :cool: :surf: :surf: :surf: :surf: :surf: :surf: :surf: :surf: :surf: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :choco: :surf: :surf: :surf: :surf: :surf: :breakdance: :breakdance: :breakdance: :cool: :yes: :yes: :-) :-D :-D :-D

Nice buy man! These 550s are underated boxes. Very loud on original speakers but "make yo ears bleed" with upgraded ones! :lol:


Can't wait to see it.

I got mine off of fleabay too but for $20. Shown only as powering on, nothing else works...... Now it works pretty darn good :breakdance: .

Thanks guys! I'm taking photos in about an hour!
Really like this one and for the price-I couldn't go wrong.
It came from an estate sale and sometimes it's just non-use that makes em' not work good..
Photos later in the afternoon today!
Have a great week-GB. :-) :yes: :cool:

Oh Floyd!! You'd be my best friend if you could help me out!! :yes:
I'm posting photos of this baby so you know it would go to a great box!!
The dial light,the little music scanner circuit board and of course if you have an antenna that would be huge!
Whatever you could help me out with would be cool-PayPal waiting!
Thanks-Jeff. :-) :yes: :cool:
