1979 Roland Space Echo RE-201 Vintage Analog Tape Delay, Clean & Serviced 120V

$1,999.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 1979 Roland RE-201 Space Echo vintage analog tape delay in excellent condition. This vintage tape echo functions as intended and runs reliably, and while originally a Space Echo sold within Japan (given the Japanese text on the inside lid), the original power transformer has been modified to use its 120v USA power taps. Fully serviced, this Space Echo features a rebuilt motor with cleaned and lubricated bearings, capstan, and tape path. All pots, switches and jacks have been sprayed out, cleaned and exercised, with calibrated trim pots for Level and Intensity.

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.

The faceplate is very well-kept with clean silkscreen graphics, and all of the original aluminum skirted knobs are intact. The chrome latches and hinges exhibit moderate patina, and there's sparingly little wear on the black tolex, limited to a couple of marks along the edge and a spot on top from a removed sticker.
