Title: New Delay Day!
Post by: gtr2 on January 17, 2011, 12:27:25 AM
Got a good deal locally...it works but needs some restoration and new tape.  The tape in it is dated 1977.  There's a bit of an output level problem as well that needs cured and the power supply caps probably need changed out.  It's an EP-4, so it may be looked down in some circles, but it should be fun!

Good find! Tape delay is the best. We were playing with a Univox EC-80 at work today.

got it functioning and new tape, it sounds glorious!!! I have to do some cleanup of the pots and inputs yet.  if you ever get the chance to pick one up for a reasonable price it's worth the trouble...  i thought i knew tape delay, I was wrong   ;)
