Had seen the Mk1 on one of the local trader here last year, he was sellin it at 3.5k but I opted for the Pioneer SX-838 stereo receiver since I've read some reviews that it's worth restoring, and it was true enough. A few weeks later I've heard from the owner that someone which I think is a pdvd member got the unit.

Since I've started in this hobby of collecting vintage audio gears I have somehow came up with a general rule:

1. It should have a beefy transformer;
2. Uses discrete outputs;
3. If possible with VU meters;
4. Has ample filter caps (can size) and
5. If possible should be in mint condition.
