Sherwood S-7310 (circa 1975)

Little is documented about the Sherwood S-7310. Here is what the record shows. It was a stereo FM/AM receiver, reviewed in High Fidelity in March 1975. Don't confuse it with the S-7310A, a differently suffixed Sherwood model whose service manual sometimes turns up in searches for this unit.

High Fidelity (March 1975, p.37) called the S-7310 a solid, sane stereo receiver. The verdict was a solid value and an utterly sane design, the sort of unit on which Sherwood's reputation had been built. The review's measurements (p.38-39) showed about 38 watts per channel into 8 ohms, with power bandwidth reaching down to 20 Hz. The reviewer's sample slightly exceeded the distortion rating at the deepest bass at full power, which he called undetectable and musically irrelevant. The tuner section measured 1.7 µV mono FM sensitivity (30 dB quieting) at 90 MHz. The review also noted Dynaquad four-channel circuitry, which dates it to the period's brief quadraphonic moment.

Beyond that review, the documentation trail goes cold. No factory specifications, production dates, or original price have surfaced. The only owner trace the Archive has found is a February 2020 Vinyl Engine forum post listing the S-7310 among a group of vintage receivers and describing it as a gift for the poster's vinyl mentor.
