Kept the S-7200 and have a later (but not half bad) S-702CP amplifier.
I do have an S-2300 tuner but its only marginally functional.
(actually Brian once swapped me one of these for another component, if memory serves... that one I swapped for something else, I think... and subsequently acquired THIS one... should've kept Brian's...)
I once had a dump-find pair of the big (BIG) Sherwood Tanglewood speakers... but I gave those away, as well. They had panache, but even for me they took up a little too much space to justify keeping 'em.
You know about all of the thermionic ones...
all the best,

I gave my son a Sherwood that looked just like the second one down. That thing really had a great sounding tuner.
I See you have the infamous Crown IC-150 amp and preamp. I had an IC 150A that sounded like fingernails on a blackboard, so I sold it for more than I paid for it. I have read that you can make these things sound great by swapping IC's. I remember the build quality was excellent on the preamp.

... over the last decade. That 7100A was mated with modded KLH 24s, & recipient is amazed by how that combo can thump out the bass for being only 17 watts-per-channel. Replaced stock thin tone control to amp board wiring on 7010 with Mesa Recto Cab wiring. Recipient finds it hard to believe it's only 10 wpcs, as it rocks KLH 17s intensely. In both cases, amp board to speaker output wiring was replaced with 16 gauge. Both systems perform home theatre duty quite admirably, also. An Air Force brat bud who passed away recently had a tubed all AR system back in the 60s, which he traded for a S-7300, Dual turntable & Rectilinears in the early 70s. 73s para Sactown.
dug up some old photos of these two, FWIW...
all the best,
mrh
