The RE-201 Space Echo, a legendary machine born around 1974, has been cleaned, lightly maintained, and its operation confirmed. It creates a more expansive sound by combining echo and reverb. It can mix 2 microphones and 1 instrument. It has an echo/normal switch that allows echo cancellation for the instrument input only. Power was confirmed, and operation was tested with a microphone. There is a slight crackle in the center "MODE SELECTER" knob. There is no crackle in the other knobs. The deep, tape echo-like sound is present in all modes. The reverb is also abundant, and the self-oscillation unique to tape echoes has been confirmed. The pinch roller was removed before testing, cleaned, and greased, and the tape was removed and reinstalled. The input jacks have been cleaned, and the knobs have been removed and the entire unit cleaned. The drawbacks are: the VU meter lamp is out (the meter still works), there are notes written on the inside of the top cover's quick guide, there is rust on the exterior metal, and there are scratches and dirt on the exterior. Other than the VU meter lamp, the tape echo functions are fully operational, but it is an old piece of equipment over 30 years old, so future maintenance may be required. Please understand the condition described above and purchase on a no-claims, no-returns basis. Thank you for your understanding. I am also listing other vintage effects and analog synthesizers. #spaceecho #tapeecho #dub #reggae #spaceecho
