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).
Sherwood RD-6108 5.1 channel AVR Receiver with 2 Radio Shack Minimus 7 speakers. It had a VU meter for tuning and an illuminated dial. Sherwood RX-4109 2 Channel AM/FM Stereo Receiver Original Box No Remote. 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. Might be just the thing for streaming from your phone or tablet. We had a Sherwood S-7800 AM/FM Stereo Receiver, purchased brand new in 1967 for $339. Found this affordable Sherwood receiver with built-in bluetooth. 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. (Have a 100 tower and a beam - get a K3 with 8-pole filters). Unless you have a 100 tower and a beam, pretty much this is the radio of choice. Look at Sherwood receiver specs: 106dB 20kHz and 97dB 2kHz RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. And the Sherwood logo has still another style. Yes the 50 on CW is narrow but sometimes in a contest environment, it IS my filter of choice. In the Allied '68 catalogue it was priced at 339,50 dollars. They had overload protection as well as output transistor temperature sensors. Each set had its own front-panel rocker switch control. 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. Multi-source, dual-zone capable for use as free-standing unit or a Zone 2/3 receiver/amplifier. In the '66 catalogue transistorized amplifiers and tuners can be seen together with the venerable S-7700 and S-8000 tube receivers. Switching for four pairs of loudspeakers from the front panel or via remote control. 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:
