Pioneer TX-9100 recap / refurbishment
This TX9100 was sold (2024), its new owner reported it to pull in more stations than any other of his tuners (which includes another TX9100), sounding very good.
He also mounted a new casing and front panel from a donor unit himself, it is in use in conjuction with a refurbished Sansui AU9500.
It is good to know it is in collectors hands and actually being used.

This Pioneer TX-9100 was still working when aquired.
It was decided to do a quick refurbishment, using parts already at hand.
Further comments on this page are rather technical, more or less aimed at technicians, to share experiences. They assume people having documentation at hand, which can be downloaded from the web.
There are some subjective comments on this tuner on the well-known fmtunerinfo site. (although, sometimes to be taken with a grain of salt)
