1981 Roland Space Echo RE-201 Vintage Analog Tape Delay, Clean & Serviced 120V
Up for sale, a 1981 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 power transformer has been upgraded for use on 120v USA power. Fully serviced, this Space Echo features a new pinch roller, bearings, felts, and a new reverb tank. 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 are similarly clean, and there's sparingly little wear on the black tolex.
