Sherwood S-7100a on cl. $30 worth it?

I'm thinking about picking up a Sherwood S-7100a I found on CL. He said he'd take $30 for them. Is it worth it?

I have a Nakamichi Sr-3a that I like but I'm having some problems with. Just for reference of other gear. The receiver will be driving either Klipsch KG1.2/KG2.5's or Polk LS90's.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Supposedly no problems with the volume knob according to the seller.

For $30 I'd try it. See if you can't get it for 20.

We have a Sherwood receiver in our BR and it's quite nice.

Good luck.

$30 is worth it if you are experimenting. I would get it and get some small efficient speakers to use with it. I'm not sure it will drive your speakers as well as the Nakamichi if you were looking for something comparable. It's a pretty low powered receiver. And pretty old.
 
Good sounding and well built receiver with a very, very good tuner.
Easily worth 30 smackers in good working and cosmetic order.

Where are you or the craigslist ad located? You might be able to find one in Barter Town if you become a subscriber.

Edit: found the original ad, still up, on Chambana (Champaign-Urbana) UI area.

Selling a set of vintage Bose 901 loud speakers these are for a project they work as is but one will need to refoam them. They have a all wood (walnut cabinet) it also comes with the eq box that controls them as well.

Good luck!

Great receiver with an Achilles heel; the On/Off switches fail regularly on the Volume pot. There are work arounds and fixes, but most don't involve a new pot because there aren't any. I've had a few and drilled out a button hole to accommodate a mini power switch to fix mine. Jumpering the leads to always on and running it through a plug mold switch works too.

That being said, once you get past the junk switch, it's a wonderful piece. Really

Sorry for the late response guys!

Thanks,
I have a cat that looks exactly like yours! Its kind of crazy.
I have emailed the Sansui guy, but he wouldn't budge on price (225 without tuner). I'm considering that TT; been wanting to get into Vinyl. No need for a cassette deck for now.

The price of the TT looks good, but I don't want to pay that much for something I'll probably end up never using.

Off topic but I scored a pair of Polk Monitor 5 Jrs today for $10 and I love the it. Catch was one tweeter and one woofer were kaput. Just swapped components into the better looking cab and now I have a nice working Monitor5jr as a temp center for my Ls90s!

Thanks for all the help everyone.
