Pioneer sx-636 vintage reciever?


I found a vintage pioneer sx-636 receiver for $40. Is this a good deal and how good is the phono?

Thanks

OH,excuse me.I thought you bought it already....40$ is OK if its an 8 or better.The phono is OK as I recall,my brother had one for 15 years and we listened daily...are the lights working?I hear Pioneers are difficult to work on as opposed to some of the other Japanese stuff from that era....heresay.....good luck,Bob
MIGHT not matter, but I had the SX-727, same vintage and while it was OK in most regards, the FM tuner would not stay stable on frequency. As soon as it warmed up, it'd drift off frequency. This model had both a center and signal strength meter. Several trips to the fix it guy were NO help.
If its in good working order, its a nice find at $40.

Your NAD is probably better sounding overall though.
