The input problem may be as simple as tarnished contacts on the selector switch and may be fixable with some contact cleaner.

I have a 1957 Sherwood S5000 tube integrated and after owning dozens of tube integrated amps from the era I think its one of the best sounding and its also a good buy because it doesn't sell for near as much as the equivalent Scotts, Fishers etc that don't sound any better. The Sherwoods were still made in Chicago then and the output transformers where made by Chicago Transformer and very high quality.

Yes like most the other big names they all switched to overseas construction in the 70's unfortunately.

swell_sailor wrote:Hey Dave, what do you know about the old Sherwoods? I have an S-9910. It's the garage tunes. It really hasn't been tested since I've owned it. I've heard it has a reputation of having a tube amp sound. To me it looks like stereo gear is supposed to look. The reason I ask is because some of the inputs no longer work. It's needs a good cleaning. I'm wondering if it's worth it.

I have the Beatles Love that has a regular CD and a 5.1/stereo DVD-A. The sound quality is kick-ass but I still don't like the way some of the songs are "butchered" but its still very enjoyable.

I'm nowhere near an expert, but my dad had a Sherwood...7050, I think. It always struck me as fairly decent gear. Edit - Was wrong, his was the 7100A. Still...probably worth going after it with some Deoxit.

Cool! I'm adding that to my wish list. Speaking of cool things, one of my favorite performances on DVD is Stevie Ray Vaughan, Live at the El Mocambo. Borderline supernatural! In case anyone here is an SRV fan.
