Pioneer SX-9930 Receiver - GI Special US Spec Big-Body Rock Star

Pioneer Model SX-9930 AM/FM receiver is the European version of the SX-939. Sections of the front panel are black instead of silver, the push buttons are grey instead of black and the dial and meters are a somewhat lighter shade of blue. Otherwise, they are identical models. Rated at 75 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms and 100 watts RMS per channel into 4 ohms. The European versions were not exported to the U.S. They had to be brought back to the U.S. by the owner from Europe. They are much more rare in this country than the standard models.
