SHERWOOD S - 5500 S5500 5500 INTEGRATED TUBE AMPLIFIER VINTAGE EXC. 7591




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:992150
Original Description:
SHERWOOD S-5500 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER.
Excellent cosmetics -- close to 'mint'.  Excellent working condition. It has been gently restored (see pictures). Quad of matched Fisher 7591 output tubes with lots of life. 1 telefunken 12ax7. other (4) 12ax7 ubes are mostly vintage  but perhaps not special. Guestimating tube value in this unit at  $250+.   My knowledgeable Sherwood friend said that this is proably S5500-ii  but I dont  have a way of varying t...hat. See  audioasylum and audiokarma  for some notes on this great amp. Some have said that this is their favourite integrated and others that it is desert island material. Now becoming hard to find vintage units in this type of condition at a reasonable price.

FINE PRINT. SORRY.
Please see my other auctions for other cool audio items.  Will be moving Altec, McIntosh & Lafayette, Fisher items soon.
NOTES1.  Sweet but determined 3 year old boy destroyer  in the house!  Must move  3 rooms of audio collected over 20 years of buying. I  am(was!)     an audio hobbyist  not a buyer/reseller.  all items were bought  for my personal use.  Most bought during     audiomart days(before ebay).2. I welcome auditions/SALES from local prospective buyers (NJ, outside Manhattan).3. Users with shades or less than 25 positive feedback scores should contact me before bidding.4. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE CONTACT BEFORE BIDDING.      ONLY THE EBAY OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL  SHIPPING PROGRAM   WILL BE USED. 5.   Due to a few  unscrupulous  niggly dishonest buyers,   I will be selling most of my items     AS-IS. This does not mean the item is defective but it does mean  that there probably wont be      a refunds or returns. I will be open to discussing an issue i may have missed.  I will give an accurate     description of the working condition a few days before posting of auction ( i may recorde the session     for the costlier items).6.  Local pickup in NJ  is welcomed.  7.   I would  welcome a small phone conversation from buyer  for any item over $1000. I would prefer that         you get what you want.  A phone call might help you  understand what you are thinking of. Most of you have skype or      can get it. cost should be free. Thanks for your understanding.8.   I am NOT a dealer or re-seller. I am an audio enthusiast who is cleaning closets after 20 years in hobby     (baby arrived!). My goal is to create more space in house -- not to get maximum profit on  selling.9.   I  will give  an honest description as I see it. Known blemishes or defects will be noted in description.     However, if I miss something it is not my responsibility to accept an return or broker a discount.  I will     sometimes offer an opinion on sound. Please take it with many grains of salt and understand that my      ears and listening tastes and biases are very different from yours.10.  I assume anyone buying vintage or used equipment from me, will understand that  old equipment is not new; they     also understand that most vintage equipment can be fixed at a cost that will be borne by the buyer. The buyer     will understand that  working condition does not mean perfect condition. I welcome auditions for those who        can come to NJ. 11.  If there is some gross or factual error in my description, I will accept a return (including  return shipping).       The buyer must clearly explain the gross error & I must agree to it. I am reasonable. I take responsibility for     my errors.12.  If the buyer is unhappy with the product and I do not agree with his reasoning but respect it, I may conditionally      accept a return or partial refund (buyer will pay return shipping plus a 10% fee to compensate me for my      headaches).  I am getting      tired of buyers who complain after buying a product (after over-biddig) and then want me to give them a discount. 13.  Most of my equipment was bought from audiomart ads (many of the items were picked up in tri-state area (pa, nj, ny)     about 20 years ago (oh, god, am i that old?).14.  As always, please ask your questions (as many as you like) before  you  bid.15.  I will pack well; double boxed when necessary;  appropriate protection given for sensitive parts like switches. 16.  For small items, shipping will be done 3-4 days after payment.17.  For large items, shipping may take up to 7 days after payment (time need to locate appropriate      packing material). Thanks for your patience and understanding.18.  I  am not responsible for  shipping damage. 19.  Normally, I will ship via USPS with real insurance for actual sale price.20.  I strive to be fair & honest. Good karma & good business too.21.  SHIPPING CHARGES.       Please  be  cautious with specified  ebay shipping charges -- THEY  are just estimates. Actual shipping will be charged.22.  Please  look at pictures to assess condition.  I dont normally clean up a product to spruce it up     for a  sale.  If you want me to take more pictures, please let me know.23.  Finally, if there is disagreement after sale, let us  have  a civilized constructive discussion. Ideally,      I would like to find buyers who understand the product and who bid responsibly and pay market price.      I really dont want people who are over-anxious and then  over-bid and then get disappointed.  24.  INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS. EBAY HAS A GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM.  THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS ME TO SELL AN ITEM TO AN INTERNATIONAL     BUYER WITHOUT DEALING WITH CUSTOMS (THE MIDDLE-MAN HANDLES THIS).  THIS PROGRAM BENEFITS INTERNATIONAL BUYER - PRICE IS       CHEAPER THAN SHIPPING DIRECT.   ALL MY INTERNATIONAL SALES WILL USE EBAYS GLOBAL PROGRAM.       25.  Most of my photos are taken normally. I dont  try to make something look too good..nor do I try  to      hide defects. Known blemishes are always highlighted.  But sadly, I miss a few blemishes from time to time.
26.  Thank for your interest& Thank you for your patience.
