This QX-949 is a VERY cool receiver. Beyond boasting 60wpc and its ability to run four speakers, the key feature is it's working tuning scope that looks like it belongs on a nuclear submarine. It's got a bit of wear visible from the last 50yrs of jamming out, but it's been serviced and is ready for another 50 more. This was Pioneer's very top of the line Quadraphonic receiver back in 1974.
