FM Tuner
The 5-3000 has been styled and designed primarily as an operating mate for the Sherwood Model 5-1000 amplifier, however it has operating flexibility which will work effectively with practically any good high-fidelity amplifier system.
The Model 5-3000 tuner can be used either in its self-contained metal cabinet (for open-shelf or table-top mounting) or the cabinet can be removed and the tuner built into your custom cabinetry. Refer to section under "Custom-Panel Installation" for further details.
Circuits:
AUDIO - cathode follower with level control.
FM - Low noise balanced antenna input transformer feeding cascode RF amplifier. Triode mixer, 2 IF amplifiers, cascaded limiters, and Foster-Seeley balanced discriminator. Delayed AGC applied to RF stage. AFC on oscillator. Feather-ray tuning eye.
