... that's about $1650.00 today. By contrast, a modern equivalent product in terms of circuit design, reviews, etc, is the Leben CS-300, which is in the $4000.00 ballpark.
Gold-plated tube shields notwithstanding, the quality seems to be in the same league (the S500 weighs more, and is smaller, so more iron in there for the transformers, is my guess), and I like the looks of the Sherwood lots more. Plus, I got a GREAT price on it, and like to do the rebuild, so it's a win-win with the S5000.
