Sherwood
Sherwood was founded in Chicago in 1953 by engineer Ed Miller and his partner John Snow, according to the original site's company page. Miller had previously worked at Radio Craftsmen, and Sherwood concentrated on integrated amplifiers, tuners and receivers.
The tube-era Sherwood equipment of the 1950s and early 1960s is what collectors look for: well-built, conservatively designed, and generally cheaper than the famous East Coast brands. Like other amplifiers of its age, it will need new capacitors before reliable use.
We have not found an independent encyclopaedia article on Sherwood's early history, so the claims on the company page rest on its own account. See the Sherwood maker page for everything on file.
