NICE SHERWOOD S-5000 II STEREO INTEGRATED TUBE AMPLIFIER WITH TUBES, Nice quality piece, comes with tubes. I brought this amplifier up to 70v and it's passing signal. You may be able to bring this up to it's full line Voltage, But I have no idea because I did not. Due to the age of this amplifier, It's pretty obvious that it'll need serviced before trying... to run it. So it will be sold as is for parts or not working. If you're not a Tech or don't have a Tech at the Ready, Please do not buy this amplifier. It's a 60 year old amplifier and will definitely need serviced. This unit is as the rest of these old amps (a project) It's a great hobby, but please be responsible and understand what you're buying..... Thanks and enjoy
10/31/19I have now brought this amplifier all the way up to proper line Voltage. I'm showing in My pics the Filament voltage of 6.3v at 118vac line voltage. The Bias Volts at 118vac line voltage And the B+ Volts at 118vac line voltage. There's no Glowing plates that I can see and the capacitors are running cool. But as stated before. Due to the age of this amplifier, It's pretty obvious that it'll need serviced before trying to run it. So it will be sold as is for parts or not working. If you're not a Tech or don't have a Tech at the Ready, Please do not buy this amplifier. It's a 60 year old amplifier and will definitely need serviced.

I can't do anymore than this. I think I've done a good job of showing you exactly what you're buying......Thanks and enjoy
P.S.S This amplifier runs at 118VAC And should not be run at any higher voltage. it should be ran on a Variac even after the rebuild it should have done.....
