I got the same one, really decent it's their lower end es version of the cdp c89es (has a metal platter and copper top plate) i bought one of those today to fix up. That one weights around 19lbs rhe ca9es just a hair under that. Doesn't take away the ca9es is a beauty. You also have alot of programming options on it. I'd strongly advise to get the oem remote. They look fantastic too, i also have a sony xa20es, the sony cdp101 , and the monster 60lbs weighing sony scd777es
What a great looking radio! What's interesting to me are the two lighter brown strips of wood across the front of the radio. I have a Zenith 5C319 AM/SW radio (vintage 1939) with a wide strip of the same wood trim on the front although it goes down the side. Love those old tube radios!
It is a beauty isn't it? Picked this from an 85 year old lady who was downsizing, they had owned it for many many years. I started collecting radios around 2000, at one point had 55 of them, have gone to numerous radio auctions, hamfests, etc and this is the first Pilot I have ever seen. Did you notice the dials that look like little ships wheels? so cool...
Hi I just restored the same radio, I,m just Learning, The Radio when done sounded great, I put it o the shelf, Plugged it in after 4 month, I had no sound, I sent my signal generator, And my audio transformer went bad, Did you restore the radio you have, and if so Any chance, you know what the ohms are for transformer, and speaker, My schematic tells me nothing.thanks
