These are pretty rare...
The Pioneer SPEC series featured large boxes, heavy transformers, and big handles that made this the high point of the silver era. This was an era when the kitchen sink philosophy prevailed. Components were very feature heavy and had knobs and switches for every possible feature that the engineers could think of. It was also the high water mark for processors, boxes such as expanders and equalizers that helped restore the live experience that recorded music was missing.
SPEC-1 Pre-Amplifier: Has been recently recapped by our service tech— Features 2 tape inputs with dubbing, 2 aux inputs, a tuner input, and 2 phono inputs. The phono stage included controls to adjust the input impedance and capacitance to match many of the exotic phono cartridges that were on the market at the time. The tone controls have adjustable cross-over points, which allow them to operate much like an equalizer, but without the complexity, or they could be bypassed altogether. Available 1975 to 1981.
SPEC-4 Power Amplifier- Has been recently recapped and re-biased by our service tech — Features 150 watts per channel, full dual-mono design with two power supplies and no components in common between the two amplifier channels. Although it is not as powerful as the SPEC-2, the SPEC-4 is considered to be more refined, and a little more sweet sounding. Available 1977 to 1981. Manual is included.
