New Sherwood receiver info

[Hyfi]

Well I talked to one of the employs at Radio Shack and they said that within 2 years if something goes wrong they will give you a gift card for the amount you paid plus tax you paid and then you can buy anything with that gift card so you can buy the receiver again if you want to.


Also the reason why I wanted to buy this receiver is since it's current and new compaird to used ones I get at Goodwill. Also when you buy something at Goodwill most of the time the remote is missing and manual, cables, antennas, etc. I wanted something that have everything and nothin missing.


But I need to know that is it best that I get a unopened receiver or is the one I have will last a long time like new ones? Since at least you know it's not defective since it's been used as a background music for a year and half. But if it's still better to buy new then maybe I should exchange with a new one.

You can buy this item NEW for $87. Not sure what you paid at RS with your $15 discount.

Gift Certificates are not much good if you don't need anything from that store and if purchased new, you would have at least the Repair for 2 years but it will cost you 1/3 of the cost just to ship it to a repair center if none are in your area.

For once, YOU will have to decide if it is worth the extra $15 to have a new unit with full MFG Warranty. Nobody here can make that decision for YOU no matter how many times or ways you ask the same question.

Here's a Sherwood Service Center Locator. There's four right in Omaha.

Just save your receipt.

So, I wonder what this whole transaction cost the poor boy?

Maybe someday he'll learn to ask first instead of later.

I think Spanky should return it and get a brand new one, that way it is all reset and has never been used and it will sound best right out of the box and it will have the remote and wires and antennas and cables plus the manuals and the warranty and then he will have new one and new ones are better than old ones and it will be more modern but doesn't costed much more plus tax and the bass will be lower with clearer highs and midrange and I was talking to some guys on another forum and they said that demos and opens boxes are not as good as new and that they would never buy used because the caps can be dried out and the johnson rod in the tuner will most likely be bent because they left it on for background music and if you leave it on the same station too long it will bend the johnson rod and this one has a discreet amplifier stage so the johnson rod is very important because it is a modern receiver with a discreet amplifier stage even though the one he got from good will was ten times better when new it is now old and doesn't have the antenna so this one will be better since it is new and modern and will sound best right out of the box.

Oh great! Now we're all in for a dozen more questions.

He's vowed to ignore me though.

My amp is 25 years old but that was a really high end amp though and costed like a thousand dollars new in 1985 so thats like $8000 in todays dollars but it sounded better in 1985 thats what the guy who sold it to me told me but he only used it for background music so it had a bent johnson rod an it is 2 ohm stable class A but it doesn't get hot enough to cook my sandwich on which i'm pretty hungry and want to eat the sandwich but I have to play the music really loud to cook the sandwich and my mom yells at me but it is new and not used because it has a 2 year warranty but I called the guys at customer service and they said the warranty was good from the time that I bought it from the guy on ebay because the warranty was transferable and since he still had the box and manual and he sent those me it was still good but is is not modern because it is old and some guys on another forum said I should return it and he tried to give me a gift card but I didn't need $300 worth of latex gloves because thats all he was selling now and was not selling anymore amps because too many people refused delivery on his amps so it costed him to much to stay in business.

I have a bent Johnson Rod but when people jerk me around enough it straightens out. Do they costed more when they are bent or only if I am discrete?

Be careful when it straightens out. You're might get into trouble if it starts leaking while it's inserteted between the sandwich buns...

Do you mean the sandwich that I'm cooking on my amp? I'm hungry. Do you guys think I'm really hungry? Do you think by sandwich will taste good or do you think another sandwich will taste better. I'm returning this sandwich.

I would have refused delivery of the sandwich so that the guy who shipped it would just have to eat it.
