A Neglected Stereo Icon! NAD 3020 Series 20 Overhaul - Retfurb Retro Audio

In this video we have a very neglected NAD 3020 Stereo amplifier, With distorted sound & dropping issues.
We strip down the unit, Attempt to revive the sound and give it a good tidy up. Hopefully it's as simple as using some De-Oxit on the controls......

Also the Amplifier is around 40 years old now, So we are going to be replacing the capacitors as part of the refurb. We will use high quality capacitors (i.e Panasonic, Nichicon), To replace the lower quality originals used by NAD.

Lets bring this unit back to its former glory.

The NAD 3020 line of amplifiers, Is widely regarded as one of the all time greats. It was a giant killer in the day and still holds its own today.
It is a great sounding amplifier and for the original retail price it is hard to beat.
