Sherwood 8800-ALL
Little is documented about the Sherwood 8800-ALL. The Archive holds no material that names this model - no manual, no review, no advertisement mentioning an "8800-ALL." What sits in the file is a short run of early-1966 Sherwood advertising, and every one of those ads is for a different model, the S-7800. The 8800-ALL might be a variant of that receiver, a separate product whose marketing material is lost, or a cataloging error. The surviving record can't settle it.
The ads are described here only so the file's contents are clear. Sherwood's own advertising in Audio (March 1966, p.20) and High Fidelity (March 1966, p.116) pushed an "all-silicon reliability" message for the S-7800. The features listed were noise-threshold-gated automatic FM stereo/mono switching, a zero-center tuning meter, a front-panel stereo headphone jack, and rocker switches for tape monitor, noise filter, and speaker pairs. The ads claimed 100 watts music power at 8 ohms with 0.3% harmonic distortion, IM distortion of 0.1% at 10 watts or less, FM sensitivity of 1.6 µV for 30 dB quieting, and a count of 43 silicon transistors. None of that is evidence about the 8800-ALL itself.
Beyond the existence of these S-7800 advertisements, nothing can be stated about the 8800-ALL. Its product type, years of production, and specifications are undocumented.
