Does anyone have any info. on this amp. Pick it up at a thrift store along with a Pioneer TX-410 tuner. Tried a google search for info on the amp and all i came up with is for a manual. Kinda wanted to know how many wpc and if you can run a and b speaker at the same time?
Thanks

    Found nothing on your model, but surprisingly (to me anyway) Sherwood, AKA Sherwood NewCastle, is still around.

    Try writing the folks here:

    Thanks for the link. I will send them a e-mail.
    Had it hooked up some rti38, they sounded really good, but that was on the dining room table
    Thanks

    I've owned one of these amps for 20 years. I purchased it as part of a system, and it's the only component that remains. It owes me nothing-- it survived my last two years of high school, and then years of college and post-college parties and daily--DAILY--abuse. It's been moved around and plugged/replugged countless times with all kinds of crappy speakers attached to it. I've had it repaired twice for a combined total of around $100. The sound quality isn't great, but it's not that bad. It's currently driving a pair of Bose 301s (they've been along for the ride since 1989) and Spica Angelus (seriously!) speakers and doing just fine. It puts out 120 WPC if I remember correctly. When I think of what I've put the thing through, I'm truly amazed that it still functions--every single knob, light, port, and feature works, though the volume knob cover came unglued and fell off within a year of purchasing. The logo has worn, so it says "S e oo ", but that just adds to its charm.

    I have one of these amps.

    I have had it since 1994 and I love it.

    I don't know WPC but would like to.

    I do know that it ouputs enough to make it too loud to be in the same room
    when on full.

    Cheers
