The older US made Sherwoods are awesome IMO. I have a S-8500 that my Mom bought new in 1970.
You will want to recap your S-8800 if you plan to use it long term. My S-8500 has lots of the older plastic molded caps in it and those are trouble prone. The tuner in my S-8500 is out of alignent too. I had issues with the center tune being off. I was able to tweek it back by doing the old, metal jewlers screw driver in the coil trick. Once I found the coil that tied to the meter, I tweeked it back. One of these days, I will get a signal generator and properly realign it. :-) For the most part, the tuner works well, but I seldom listen to FM in the house anyway.
