Dave,
I had an SA600 with that beautiful lavender anodizing. I loved the build quality but it had constant reliability issues especially with DC offset. I was using Lancer 99's at the time and JBL replaced a pair of LE14's with no questions asked when I told them they were used with an SA600. My dealer called the SA660 an SA600 that worked :<} ah, memories!

I had Lancer 77's for quite a while then I gave them to my brother-in-law. They did not do all of the audiophile things but they just sounded good! I really enjoyed my time with them. My brother-in-law loves them! The woodwork on then was beautiful too!

I really was hoping to get this beauty working! Maybe it is not in the cards.

Dave,
Don't get me wrong I only wish you the best if you have an SA660/600 to re-build. It is a magnificent industrial design (by Bart Locanthi more well known for his JBL and Pioneer HPM speaker designs) with breakthrough circuitry for it's time. See below for a coupls of links that may be of help. The Dutch gentlemans restoration was truly a labor of love. Again good luck and let us know how it turns out.

Oh and I recently purchased another pair of L99's to relive my audio childhood so you can go back!
Regards, Jerry
Oops, correction the SA600 was silver anodized the SA660 had the blueish/purple color. I went back and looked at some old spec sheets after posting.
Beautiful amp. Sounded nice when it worked.
