I have one and i love it... if it breaks down on me im definately gonna get it fixed...no matter the cost. that might sound crazy but it seems like these are kinda in demand for us audio freaks!!!
The Pioneer SX-525 was my first reciever, loved it. Was so excited I carried it home from the store in my lap like a new born baby. Sounded good and looked beautifull. If the one you are looking at seems nice. One hundred bucks or less is a small price to pay for the some joy.
Get the filter caps replaced! Also there are a fair number of tantalum electrolytics in the signal path and they can be tricky to chase down if they are failing. It was a mistake to put them in in the first place, no time like the present if you go for it. Just be forewarned that the amp will require, like many things over 3 decades old, some service.
I'm not sure where this fits in with the model you're looking at, but I bought a Pioneer SX580 approx. 3 yrs. ago on ebay for $60 (+$40 for shipping.) I love it, it sounds great and works perfect. If the SX939 is in REALLY GOOD condition, it may not be a bad deal. Sandra
