[FS] Pioneer Tuner TX-9100

Here I have a Pioneer Tuner for sale which was bought brand new in 1973 by my uncle (was the Rolls Royce of tuners in its day).
It has sat for the last 25 years hardly used but power up and can tune in to a good signal (using a piece of wire).
All lights work and I was surprised how nice it sounds but radio listening is not by bag!

Some pictures below showing the tuner as it currently is - not immaculate but presentable (the lighting made the end cheeks look very golden but they are not?)

Some blurb I have found about the tuner:

"An advanced professional AM/FM stereo tuner, with unique P.L.L. MPX circuit, dual-gate MOS type FETs in the FM front end, and outstanding performance.
The TX-9100 is Pioneer's finest tuner, a stereo achievement designed to significantly reduce the distance between your music listening room and broadcast stations. Offering what is certainly one of the finest FM sensitivity ratings ever built-in to a tuner, the TX-9100 is an incomparable blend of solid state circuitry and design, the most advanced unit of its kind available today at any price. "

The following pictures show some rust bubbles on the metal plate which is on the rear top section:







And few more pictures showing it powered up:







Weighs a lot (close to 10Kg) so would prefer pickup - can post at buyers cost.
Looking for £150

Thanks for looking

 

Saw you rescuing that earlier. Looks like a beast!

 

Right - so not really a Philips at all, then?

 

Doh

 

@Tony L Can you change the title please to a Pioneer ??

 

@Tony L
Any chance you could change the title???

 

Thanks @Tony L
Can't believe that no one is interested

 

Still no interest.
Will take £100 ono?

 

Just took this out of the garage and plumbed it into they system.





Sounding really good - does anyone want an 'A' grade 70's tuner?
Will let it go for £50 plus P&P?
