p.s. Rob Sherwood mentions that he is planning to cease offering kits and aftermarket equipment by the end of the year, 2019.
In the 1970s just after Sherwood Engineering had opened, I put an after-market filter from them into my Drake SW-4A. Still have it.
I purchased the SE-3 synchronous detector several years ago to use with my 75A-4 receiver. Would not be without it. They are now discontinued and are bringing an arm and a leg on ePay.
Sherwood was that the Albuquerque Duke City hamfest this past weekend and he had several presentations and was a keynote speaker, very interesting.
Rob Sherwood did for amateur radio what Julian Hirsch did for we actual and wannabe (like me) audiophiles back in the 1970s .... we amateurs really needed that!
