Sherwood S-110CP
Documentation on the Sherwood S-110CP is thin. The most substantial surviving record is a test report carried by HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (July 1978, p.55). It describes a receiver with an unusually full set of front-panel switches: power, tone-control defeat, tape monitor, tape dubbing, 25/75 µs de-emphasis, FM stereo-only, FM muting, a subsonic filter, a high filter, a 4-channel adaptor in/out, and loudness compensation. The same report lists 75/300-ohm FM antenna terminals, a rod antenna plus external AM connection, and two switched and one unswitched AC outlet. It gives dimensions of 21¼ inches wide by 5⅞ inches high by 15½ inches deep, and a weight of 41 lb.
A facing test-report page in the same issue (p.54) recorded FM tuner measurements. Full limiting came at 2.3 µV, mono 60 dB quieting sensitivity was 6.5 µV, stereo 55 dB quieting sensitivity was 58 µV, and full mute release came at 5.5 µV. The surviving fragment doesn't conclusively tie those figures to the S-110CP rather than a second receiver reviewed alongside it. That page lists a weight of 51 lb, which doesn't match the 41 lb figure above. Either the two pages describe different units or the OCR record is imperfect. Beyond these fragments, no service manual, original pricing, or production dates have surfaced.
