    Looking for opinions - Sound of the 70s vs Look of the 80s?

    Just looking for some opinions. I am currently running a Sherwood S-7910 that sounds beautifully warm through a pair of Polk Monitor 5jrs in my small home office. It's a great receiver, does everything I need it to, and looks great even with one bulb in need of replacement. My dilemma? No...

    Sherwood ST-802 speeds up and down at will

    Good morning my fellow Audioholics! I picked up a Sherwood ST-802 simply for the cartridge it was being used with. Now I've turned my attention to getting these TT's, receivers, etc to become usable once again. My issue with the ST-802 is that when set on either 45rpm or 33rpm the table will...

    7189 Monoblock Project

    Hello: I am posting this in the hopes someone can shed some light on some nice old iron I just acquired. I have two nice PTs and two nice ultralinear OPTs, all pulled from two mono 6BQ5 ∕ 7189 amps. These were taken from organs from the early sixties. The amps have 6GH8s and EL84s in...

    Replacements for 2SB557 and 2SD427 transistors

    Hello, I have some dead transistors in a Sherwood S-9910, and am looking for a viable new replacement, since it seems that Chinese counterfeit transistors are actually a thing. I have seen 2 different sets of transistors mentioned consistently in the forums, and am interested in the difference...

    Receiver / Amplifier Volume Issue

    I’m not completely new to building my vintage stereo, but have an issue I’ve had trouble solving. I have a Sherwood 7100a receiver, connected to a Crown DC300a power amplifier running a set of Bose 901 Series VI speakers. Everything works well, but I’m unable to control any volume on the...

    Replacing Sherwood power supply caps with standard radial instead of Snap-In - Bad idea?

    Hi All, First time poster, long time lurker. I believe the title says it all - I'm having some trouble with my Sherwood S7100 with a scratchy volume pot that is VERY loud on power up. I ordered new PSU caps, but foolishly ordered radial leads instead of snap-ins - the amplifier just has wires...

    Sherwood 7110 Receiver: Re-Cap or No Re-Cap That is the Question

    I recently purchased a Sherwood S-7110 receiver. Got it on ebay for $40.00. The only issues were the on/off volume switch didn't turn the unit off and a small crack on the faceplate. I replaced the faceplate and use a power strip to turn it on/off. Not interested in spending $80.00 to replace...

    Speaker Recommendations with Sherwood S-5500

    Hey everyone, I just acquired a rebuilt S-5500 (early 50w model) and I'm curious what speakers you guys think would go well with this. I have a set of AR-4x that need a refresh – if the consensus is that those are a good match, I'll spend the time to rebuild them. Thanks! -Seth

    Sherwood S-5000II - No Sound

    I was enjoying the nice afternoon listening to some music in the garage yesterday. A restored Sherwood S-5000II is one sweet amplifier, and it was sounding as good as ever until the sound just sort of fizzled out. There wasn't a pop or smoke or anything dramatic when it stopped, and the amp...

    Sherwood S-5000II 7591 Tube Question

    I need a set of 7591's for this amp. EH's are too fat, but it appears that JJ's and Tung-Sols will fit just fine. I have no experience with this tube, so I'm curious as to which ones to get. Any input or recommendations would be appreciated.
