Yamaha C-60 Preamp processor
Several RCA inputs, including a few different phono input loading options for both MM and MC. Also, a rather complex tone control system with crossover points for both bass and treble, as well as the infamous Yamaha 'Natural Sound" variable loudness control. Here is a 'flap-up' pic.
There appears to be a trim piece missing from the upper right part of the faceplate.
Here is the rear panel:
This is from my dad's collection. I have tested this unit for many hours (with the Kenwood power amp I also have listed), and it sounds great.
Price is $200 plus shipping. I think the multiple phonostage options are what make these sell at a bit of a premium. The capacitance settings (for MM) are rather high, so this preamp is best-suited for vintage Shure cartridges.
