Sherwood S-7310
Sherwood must be some pretty stand up equipment. Friend of mine always has some electronic Gizmo he wants to get rid of one time he gave me Sherwood S-7310, and a S7310A the 7310a I notices does not turn off, I can turn the Loudness knob counter clockwise the entire distance and it will not turn off. Might be an after market "Jerry Rigged thing" I know its considered a big no no , as far as Radio Amplifiers go, found the deal of a lifetime in a Indonesian Fender Bullet made back in 89-90. so I grabbed that and got that back home and though well , I don't have an AMP for it. Just to see if it would function I took the 1/4 jack cable from the guitar and plugged it into the Tape Dubbing port , at first I said , well it doesn't work. Then when re-visiting it I turned the volume up on the guitar. Works beautifully as a temporary guitar amp. Two reasons I think I am getting away with this, 1) I'm not a jackass that would turn it up the volume on the receiver more then half way 2 ) this is solid state electronics inside, Not toobs, and not Microchips. I have the feeling if I plugged this threw something modern like a Technics SA-R410 with integrated circuits it would probably have a problem with it. So this Sherwood is a workhorse. Being as old as it it sure it has some issues, sometimes the left channel will go out at times, but cycling between all of the options AUX1, AUX2, AM, FM, Phono, and back will usually correct the situation. Has pops and crackles when I turn it off and on .. Should go in and get all the dust out of there, and perhaps take a can of contact cleaner and clean it up a little, but New Amp Fender Bullet 15 DSP is getting here next week so. The Sherwood made it a month of use as a guitar amp..
