JVC R-S55 Vintage Stereo Receiver – 40 WPC, Wood Cabinet
Forty watts a channel at 0.03% distortion, a quartz-synthesiser tuner with station presets, and an MM phono stage — the electronics of 1979 wrapped in the wood cabinet of the decade before. That combination did not last long, which is why this one looks the way it does. Level 1 serviced here; condition good.
Sherwood S-7250 CP Vintage Stereo Receiver – 20 WPC, Phono
Twenty watts a channel into 8 ohms across the full 20 Hz to 20 kHz band, an MM phono input at 80 dB signal-to-noise, and a tape monitor loop. Sherwood built these in small runs in Chicago and sold them through the same shops that carried Marantz and McIntosh. Still in its original wood cabinet. Level 1 serviced here; condition Very Good.
Sherwood S-8250 CP Vintage Stereo Receiver – 25 WPC
Twenty-five watts a channel into 8 ohms from Sherwood's Certified Performance series — the range where Sherwood printed the measured figures for the individual unit rather than for the model. MM phono, noise filter, mute/mono, loudness and A/B speakers, behind a brushed aluminium face with walnut-grain side panels. Level 2 serviced here: bias and DC offset set, every control deoxidised.
