Hello, I am a newbie looking forward to hearing from someone regarding my recent purchase of a New Zealand made Rait 60/60 preamplifier and amplifier.

These were manufactured in the 70'3 early 80's from what I can find on the net

If someone has any knowledge of these I would love to hear from you
especially the wiring of inputs etc

They had a very cult following back in the day

Pics to follow shortly.

Many Thanks

Paul

I can't tell you much about them, except that I have had my black 30/30 since 1977 and it is still the amp I use. Great sounding amp. If you are in NZ then there are a few people around who work on them. From what I have been told they were based on a NAD amp. I think there is a guy called, from fading memory, Peter Allen in Christchurch who worked for Rait who can be contacted and does work on them.
 
G'day. Fun search, today.

These were made by Jeff Rait in Christschurch nz in the 70's. Boxed in wood originally and replaced by black box or gold in the #33 models. It was mentioned in one 60/60 sale that seller said it came with 5 pin din to rca connectors and 3 sheets of schematics. I'd bet if you posted somewhere in Christchurch you'd get a hit on the schematics.

Here's a link from posted by "Pete allen", page down, who provides transistor replacements.

Maybe you can get a hold of him still.

I have links to pics for the wooden model.
