If I recall correctly the TRM 600 was essentially the amp section of a Nikko 5010 receiver. Which was about 20-25 watts at 8 Ohms. The attraction to Nikko products in the days of this product (circa 1972) was they were pretty well built and didn't break much. One thing that Nikko had that was unique was their use of circuit breakers rather fuses to protect the output stage. As far as the sound went they were nothing exceptional, competent I guess would be the best way to describe them. Not as dynamic as, say a comparable Sansui AU or Marantz 1030, or as detailed as a H-K. This was considered a "budget" product in its day.

Aside from wanting it for collector value, there is really nothing to this amp that would require a owner's manual. No secrets. If one channel shuts down, flick the circuit breaker. Other than that it's like dozens of small integrated amps of the time.
