NAD - Model 60 Solid state integrated amplifier

NAD MODEL 60
Integrated Stereo Amplifier — Made in Japan Serial Number 10068
The NAD Model 60 belongs to NAD’s first production run from the mid-1970s and is generally dated to the 1975–1977 period.
This example features the characteristic satin-finished aluminum front panel with two illuminated VU meters, housed in the original wooden cabinet with its matching front grille.
Its condition is particularly well preserved, close to near-mint, apart from two minor marks on the top of the wooden cabinet; the right-side display illumination needs replacing.

The Model 60 also features two illuminated VU meters, connections for speakers, headphones, microphones and tape recorders, Phono, Aux and Tape inputs, tone controls, Loudness and a treble filter, as well as the Dynaquad/quasi-quadraphonic section included in the original design.
The original connections and labels are present on the rear panel of this example, along with the PHONO GND connection and fuse-protection markings. The correct markings should be read as T1.6A for the power fuse and F3.15A for speaker protection.
A notable documentary feature is the presence, near the power inlet, of a quality-control sticker/label bearing the inscription “ARCONA”. It is retained in the description as a physical characteristic of this example, without attributing any unverified technical significance to it.
