Sherwood 110CP (circa 1978)
Little is documented about the Sherwood 110CP. What survives comes from a single period test report. HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (July 1978, p.55) included the 110CP in a receiver roundup, but the surviving scan is a mess. The model name is illegible in the OCR text, and the adjacent pages blend two different receivers, so the figures need some caution.
The report describes a full-featured late-1970s receiver. The front panel carried ganged treble, input selection, and speaker/ARS selection. There were also switches for power, tone-control defeat, tape monitor, tape dubbing, 25/75 µs de-emphasis, FM stereo-only, FM muting, subsonic filter, high filter, 4-channel adaptor in/out, and loudness compensation. The FM antenna input was 75/300 ohms. AM used a rod antenna with an external connection. One unswitched and two switched AC outlets were provided. One of the two receivers in the roundup measured 21.5 in wide × 5.75 in high × 15.5 in deep and weighed 41 lb.
FM performance figures appear for both units on the surviving pages. One reached full limiting at 3.5 µV. The other reached it at 2.3 µV, with mono high-fidelity sensitivity (60 dB quieting) of 6.5 µV, stereo high-fidelity sensitivity (55 dB quieting) of 58 µV, and full mute release at 5.5 µV. The surviving copy doesn't confirm which set belongs to the 110CP.
