[R-390] How Much for a Sherwood SE-3 ??!!! - HOLY COW !!!!

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Solid state "stuff" changes a lot year to year. The SE-3 has been around for quite a while. There's no doubt that one *could* duplicate it with more modern parts and *maybe* improve things a bit. The problem is indeed exactly the one you mention. With all the PC/ sound card based solutions there's a pretty narrow customer base for a high(er) priced stand alone box. 

My guess is that you might sell 5 or 10 a year at $600. That could double at $300. Setting up and running a business (and doing support) for $3K a year is not a great proposition. 

Yes, I have an SE-3. They are a great box. Everybody should have one. I'd still bet that the number sold was pretty small. 

Bob
