And 4 beer soaked pots.

LOL. That actually might have made them work better. Those plastic pots they used in these are the one minus to this pedal. Cheeeep.

Yeah. I don't know why these were used so much in the 80w and 90s. I had a DOD performer chorus(SAD) shipped with one layer of bubble wrap in a box twice the necessary size recently. Stupid plastic pot sheered right off.

A touch of fader lube brought the Busch pots back around nicely.

Mine came with NatSemi CD4013. Same rev PCB as Jessenator's. 5x 072s. And 4 beer soaked pots.

If you end up replacing the pots take a few photos of the board while they're out so we can take a look at the circuit

Tape delays definitely work just like you said—using an actual tape loop for recording and playback, and the spacing or speed changes the delay time. I once played with an old Roland Space Echo, and it sounded wild compared to digital stuff. When the tape started getting old or dirty, the repeats would get warbly and unpredictable, which kind of added to its charm.

If you're into mixing nostalgia with more modern fun, there are sites like greatideagames.com that blend classic themes with adult gaming, and they even review and rate stuff before you jump in. Pretty interesting switch from pedals but same vibe of curated quality.
