Hi, Michael (and anyone else who is watching!), picked up a Sherwood S-5000 integrated at a local hamfest, something I have been on the hunt for with all the love for the Sherwood out there. After buying it and looking it over, I have some questions. First, it had an umbilical cord coming out of a hole in the upper left adjacent the front mounted capacitor that is obviously not original so I removed that. While removing that cord I noticed that the power transformer did not quite fit the original mounting holes which leads me to suspect that the power tranny may not be original, it does not have a metal stamped number on it but does have an ink stamp number (8387). I am also missing a knob, any suggestions on where to get one? This looks to be the second gen 6BQ5 model... thanks! |
