I recently picked up a McLaren RK-745 in good shape.
Despite his unknown name, I was intrigued by the classy late 70s look, the weight (12 Kg) and the fact that I own another McLaren piece of gear which *sounds* great and is really well built, the TK-600 tuner (it's a rebranded Sherwood S-32CP).
After a few hours of googling I gathered some informations that may be of general interest for the AK community and particularly for the growing cult-like Sherwood followers.
The receiver is indeed a “clone” of the Sherwood S-7650CP, apparently rebranded for the italian market as you may see from this picture (courtesy from deadphish).
But there’s more...the same Sherwood S-7650CP receiver was rebranded for at least four additional markets! Hence the title of my post. There are:
Inkel RK-745 (for South East market)
Blat RK-745 (for South American market)
Eagle R7500 (for UK market)
BASF D-6160 (for German market)
I’m performing the basic cleanig procedure as outlined by dr*audio.
I will then hook up a DBT and check for problems. Report in a few hours with more pictures and nudies.
Later,
