Pioneer SA-9800
Integrated Stereo Amplifier (1980-81)

Description
The Pioneer SA-9800 has the impressive feature which is the NSA (non switching amplifier), created specially by Pioneer.
This is a type of amplifier that adopts the merits of both class A and class B amplifiers, and it excels in keeping down the heat loss and allows the transistors to operate all the time in the active region.
For this reason, a high output power with a very low distortion factor is yielded all the way up to the high frequencies.

Pioneer SA 9800 replacement potentiometer
Does anyone know where I can get the volume control for the sa 9800 amp, part number acw 119? Alternatively of a supplier that will do a replacement dual ganged pot? I believe that there is an extra 'tap' for the loudness circuit????
