The legend of auto 8-track sound...Pioneer silver face.

A few of my friends had these in their cars in the 1970's- they are
one awesome sounding 8-track deck and the best I ever heard for auto.
Happy to see they still bring a nice price too. I bought one back in
the day myself but not the radio version- and still have it. Anyone
else fans of these Pioneer decks ??

Yeah, I Loved those decks, the looks and the sound.

If you see another one in that good of shape post it ...that one went for 152
bucks! I like the dial tuner and knobs, probably says supertuner on it
somewhere. I remember those top of the line Pioneer car systems and boomboxes
as being astounding.

I had one in my '70 Chevelle for years as a kid. What an AWESOME
sounding deck. After a wicked barrel party one night a few of us
passed out in the car- and the Pioneer ate a tape- when we woke up it
was still eating the tape. The entire tape contents was inside the
player- wasted the drive motor. (lol) Dan Jobin changed out the motor
in that one for me so it's back on line now.

A friend had one in a Toyota with 4 speakers, 2 of which were in the
front kick panels down by your feet. (unorthodox for the time). It
sounded like he had a reel to reel in the car.

Yes the ones with the radio in them did say "supertuner"- I was
tempted to bid on it but held off.

I had on in my 74 gtx/roadrunner that deck kicked ass

so true- it wasn't the loudest car 8-track I ever heard, but it
certainly had the most fidelity. the true car stereo diehards would
mate that supertuner with the Pioneer car Equalizer that would boost
the signal a bit and give more tone control, then it actually sounded
better than most home decks through 4 coax or triax speakers....

I remember the coax speakers giving better sound...mine was piped into
2 Craig powerplay top mounts angled forward on the back deck.
