Russ, you mentioned a Sherwood S-7800. For many years I owned an S-8900A FM-only receiver from circa 1974. I bought it used and non-working, replaced output transistors and electrolytic caps in the power supply, and it then gave me several years of excellent service before popping output transistors again, at which time I got rid of it. That was a great receiver. 60 watts per channel, a sensitive FM tuner, great sound. Maybe I should have kept it and repaired it again.
