It produced really good dynamic power especially when we later boguht Boston Acoustic A70's (whose designer was promoted to president of the company.) Eventually the Sherwood selector switch developed a malfunction and I took the receiver apart to repair it but I was only a high school student and was thinking it was dried out capacitors, I sort of destroyed it before I realized it was the selector switch and so we discarded it, this was in about 1980 I think (or maybe 1986 when I was a grad student but still kind of a klutz with electronics.) We replaced it with a Yamaha which was much better by that time. pickup of noise by the feedline, which negitively affects your receiver. My dad installed a large antenna in the attic so it pulled in radio stations from 100 miles away (we lived in Champaign-Urbana Illinois). Unwanted RF in the shack due to Common Mode Current (CMC) on the coax can be. It had a VU meter for tuning and an illuminated dial. American receivers did not have a high degree of feedback in the amplifiers unlike the later 1970's japanese imports so the THD specs were worse but the sound was supposedly cleaner (besides almost nobody listens at 1w power anyway). It had a metal cover and a label on the front reading "140w power" (which I think was 2x70w) but it had 1% THD or something I think. At the time Sherwood made good stuff (my dad paired it with an outstanding Dual 1019 and AR-2 speakers) but a decade later they started making junk. We had a Sherwood S-7800 AM/FM Stereo Receiver, purchased brand new in 1967 for $339. This one is clean and works, but I have more than enough gear. This one was to be used through the seventies.Ĭan one of you vintage SS guys confirm this? Is this unit of any interest to a collector, does it have any value? I'm open to offers, or will toss in ebay if no one here is interested. And the Sherwood logo has still another style. But I have always felt that there is something missing as far as the sound quality goes. I have a Sherwood receiver and it came with regular wires to connect all the satellite speakers and sub-woofer. In the Allied '68 catalogue it was priced at 339,50 dollars. Buy RADIO SHACK Gold Serier Subwoofer Cable: Subwoofer. They had overload protection as well as output transistor temperature sensors. Receiver was optimized by Malcom Technical Support for best dynamic. Measurement was Phase-Noise Limited ARRL RMDR (Reciprocal Mixing Dynamic Range) At 1 kHz dynamic also 95 dB but with 300 Hz roofing filter enabled. Each set had its own front-panel rocker switch control. Readings would have been lower if 2-kHz spacing had been possible. Connection for 2 sets of speakers was a novelty for Sherwood. In addition, the S-7800 had front-panel pre-amp adjustments. Both were FM/AM receivers with superb FM tuner sections. The S-7600 was introduced together with the more powerful S-7800.
In the '66 catalogue transistorized amplifiers and tuners can be seen together with the venerable S-7700 and S-8000 tube receivers. Transistorized integrated amplifiers and tuners were marketed before the new receiver series.
SHERWOOD RECEIVER RADIO SHACK SERIES
This series was advertised as "the first all-silicon receivers ever". I was just pondering what to do with this old SS unit and found this on the web:
