Sherwood 5010R
Little is documented about the Sherwood 5010R. What the record shows comes almost entirely from two period mentions in HiFI-Stereo, which identifies the model as the RV-5010R — an audio/video receiver from the early 1990s.
HiFI-Stereo (October 1991, p.12) described the RV-5010R’s discrete-transistor amplifier stages and CMOS switching, rated it at 85 watts per channel, and listed a 30-preset AM/FM tuner, audio plus three video inputs, a front-panel camcorder input, and a motorized volume control. A later mention in the same publication (1993, p.16) placed it at $300 and noted Dolby Surround decoding — a solid A/V-surround package for the price at the time.
Known specs from period press:
- Type: A/V receiver with Dolby Surround
- Power: 85 watts per channel
- Tuner: AM/FM, 30 presets
- Inputs: audio and three video inputs, front-panel camcorder input
- Extras: motorized volume control, discrete-transistor amplifier stages, CMOS switching
- Listed price: $300 (1993)
Beyond these references, the record goes quiet: no production years, dimensions, service literature, or further specifications have been located. The 5010R appears in the period press as a capable mid-priced Sherwood surround receiver, then largely vanishes from the documentation — a thin but genuine thread in the Sherwood story.
