Sherwood receiver radio shack how to#
Everyone in the family learned how to drive on a stickshift. There was a time we treated regular cars like a pair of shoes. Ho boy, we need to have a talk over some beers. I got some fond memories of Radio Shack, hanging out there, but to be honest, there is alot better audio out there. Of course my aim was always to repurpose it. things that were discontinued, didn't sell. I just don't remember so long ago, I think it was on my way home from school. I cranked up the bass and he came and set it to flat and said "This is how you listen to an amp" and I said "No, that is how you listen to speakers".

One day Mach Ones are set up, on a 2000 series I think.
I said I want to build an amp, he said he might design one for me. Got friendly with the guy who ran the place and I was allowed to screw around with whatever I wanted. I used to hang out alot at RS when I was young. It had some high end but so much sibilation (sp) that you want to turn it down. I was told that the brand name of the woofers in the Mach Ones were Utah, which I heard about later and actually aren't bad.Īnother thing, who made their cassette decks ? I never had one, but I had a R2R and I tell you, even at 7½ IPS it sounded like shit.
They didn't make a ported speaker system, they made a low frequency whistle. They totally took advantage of the laxing of the IHF when it comes to that. They had speakers sometimes that put out like 160 Hz no matter what frequency you put in. I would like to shoot a few of those people. What I would REALLY like to know is who made their speakers.

They should have sold it as an integrated preamp with a free power amp. Nice looking black front, actually a decent tuner. Only 22 WPC and can't handle four ohms ? (and it couldn't, it choked on one pair of Fisher XP7S) I don't know who made that one but while it might sound good in certain systems, it is not of the caliber most of us seek. They had some really good ones, and they had some real junk. Why would you put shit like that in a book and sell it at your own stores ? I guess the 21st century has no monopoly on idiots.Īnyway, buy your receivers by the pound. Like "I sell these for $12.95, know what I pay for them ? Fifty cents". Even before the internet somewhere I read like "And this asshole brags about how he screwed everyone". For the notoriety and the stupid three bucks the book cost, he lost himself alot of customers. He swore up and down it was not chambered and not cocked, but we got pretty solid evidence that was wrong.īut really, that book may have been part of their demise. Reminds me of a buddy of mine who went to pull his gun out of his pocket and blew a hole through his leg. Idiot shot himself in the foot, and I doubt he meant it. That turned alot of people off to them and there went the market share. The guy who ran Radioshack wrote a book on how he screwed the world and got rich, and they sold in in their stores. I had an ST-2000 and it really did look like a Pioneer, but not so much on the inside. And there were others custom contracted to build the cheapest possible.
