If you are a dyi kind of guy, I would recommend the "White Lightning Moonshine" cables and interconnects....
I like your style, great receiver..
Make sure those crazy pioneer connectors are making good electrical contact.
I Soldered jumper wires from the plus/minus speaker connections about a foot long, installed banana jacks on a piece of plexiglass. mounted that to the back edge of my cabinet shelf...works great, ....
enjoy!
Nothing like the 70"s vintage sound...

Aren't those just the white 14-3 extension cords found at Walmart? If so, that's a perfect suggestion for a vintage system as you can terminate them by simply stripping and tinning the ends. This of course since you're dealing with the somewhat funky (as I remember) vintage amp and speaker connections.

I've just rescued my vintage stereo system from my daughter. It's in need of work.

The system consists of a Pioneer SX-727 receiver, a Pioneer 12-D turntable, a pair of large Advent speakers, a pair of Advent shelf speakers, and a more recently acquired Sony dual cassette deck. I also have an Advent single cassette deck that is no longer in use because it lost one of the stereo channels.

The receiver needs a complete going through. The turntable needs to be repaired. I plan to take them to a service center in Austin, TX, for that.
The Sony dual cassette deck works fine for playing old cassettes and even for duping.

The speakers all need to be repaired. I'm thinking about tackling them myself starting with the shelf speakers. Before jumping into it, I thought I'd ask around on forums for advice.

Here's a pic of one of the shelf speakers.

  Take your large check book and be prepared to wait awhile....
  the young techs are sketchy...good luck!
  I took a reel to reel in for maintenance, working,
  after service it never worked again...
