Pioneer SX-1000TA (1967)

The archive lists this as the Pioneer 1000TA; period advertising gives the full name as SX-1000TA. The verifiable record is thin — essentially one late-1967 ad campaign — and what survives is Pioneer's own sales copy, so it should be read as such.

Pioneer's ad, which ran in High Fidelity (October 1967, p.29) and other audio titles that autumn, placed the SX-1000TA at the top of the company's line, at $360 including the walnut cabinet. The step-down SX-300T sold for $199.95 with the cabinet extra. To promote the big model, Pioneer quoted the June 1967 issues of Audio and High Fidelity as calling it a top performer able to give the most critical listener what he wanted, and crediting the sound to clever use of advanced solid-state circuitry.

Known details:

Full period name: SX-1000TA
Price: $360, walnut cabinet included
Positioned as Pioneer's top model, above the SX-300T
Solid-state design, per the quoted reviews

That's about all the archive can verify for now. No measured output figures, service literature, or later market history for the SX-1000TA has turned up in the sources available.
