A review of the very rare Pioneer SX-5580 circa 1976. Not sold in the US and it is not Silver!

The Pioneer SX-5580 appears to have only been available to US military personnel stationed outside the US. It is dual voltage and has a black faceplate, which was never available on Pioneer units sold stateside.
