Up for sale, a 1970s Roland RE-201 Space Echo vintage analog tape delay. This vintage tape echo functions as intended and runs reliably, with power transformer taps for 117v USA power. Fully serviced, this Space Echo features a cleaned and lubricated pinch roller, tape heads, bearings, motor, capstan, and tape path. All pots, switches and jacks have been sprayed out, cleaned and exercised, with calibrated trim pots for Level and Intensity, and a new VU meter bulb.
One of the most popular and enduring tape echos of all time, the RE-201 has been used on countless stages and in studios worldwide. Everything runs exactly as it should with a low noise floor and lush, detailed repeats.
All of the original hardware is intact, and the faceplate is extremely clean. All of the original knobs are intact with aluminum skirts. The latches and hinges have bright chrome plating, and there's wear through the black tolex on the back edges of the enclosure. This Space Echo is a studio-worthy, fully functional example.
