The Sherwood S-7900 is a stereo receiver produced between 1970 and 1972, showcasing a design that emphasizes functionality and aesthetic appeal. Crafted in Japan, it features a striking silver finish with a wooden housing, offering a blend of classic styling with modern functionality for its time. Positioned primarily for FM and medium wave (MW) radio reception, it is part of a broader series of audio equipment produced by Sherwood during this era, including models like the S-7050 and S-8900. The original price for the S-7900 was approximately 2,998 Deutsche Marks. The unit is noted for its solid build quality typical of the period, although its cabinet is often criticized for being covered in vinyl over particleboard, a cost-cutting measure reflective of the manufacturing trends of the time. Technically, it includes features aimed at enhancing audio performance, although specific specifications such as power output and frequency response may not be widely documented. Many units still retain their charm and provide good functional appeal for vintage audio enthusiasts seeking a nostalgic experience.
