Hi all, I attached a picture of a component that I am having trouble identifying. The text reads 38132 OR 38|32 RCA CNK IC, also I am on the hunt for Sherwood S-8500 schematics!
Is this a good question?

That is reference designator Q308 which is a RCA NPN transistor. For your S-8500 transistor Q208 and Q308 are identical. The original transistor was either a RCA 38132 or a Fairchild 40361F
Type Designator: 40361
Material of Transistor: Si
Polarity: NPN
Maximum Collector Power Dissipation (Pc): 1 W
Maximum Collector-Base Voltage |Vcb|: 70 V
Maximum Emitter-Base Voltage |Veb|: 4 V
Maximum Collector Current |Ic max|: 0.7 A
Max. Operating Junction Temperature (Tj): 200 °C
Transition Frequency (ft): 50 MHz
Forward Current Transfer Ratio (hFE), MIN: 75
Noise Figure, dB: -
Package: TO5

YeSss!! thank you so much OldTurkey! If you are in located in the states and their is a concert you want to attend (within reason) let me know and I'll try to hook you up with a pair of tickets. I am a promoter/talent buyer for a performing arts center in MA and can sometimes get tickets for shows in the US. I owe you one!

looking at the other side how many connections does it have, two or three?
by DanJ
it has three pins
by Aaron
So you have a transistor which could be a geranium or silicon configured as either a NPN or PNP.

Right, I am hoping to find specs as I need to find a replacement.

Here's one possible source for the Schematics SHERWOOD SCHEMATIC: MODEL S-8500 FM STEREO RECEIVER
Thats the best I can do. Sorry
