Default Ever spent an afternoon under the hood of an Echoplex tape echo machine?



Here's your chance to dive in with a shade tree mechanic (me!) as I attempt to replace the drive belt in an Echoplex EP-3. Mosey on over HERE to enjoy the antics.

Nice job Bob. I always do these types of things myself. Patience is the solution! -- Darwin

I am glad as I mature the patience is increasing.

i've spent a few afternoons going thru my two ep3s mostly replacing the caps. luckily, i haven't had to change a belt yet.

i have a pdf service manual if anyone needs it. it is huge so the AGF wouldn't let me attach it. if i change it to jpeg, it breaks it down to about 25 individual pages. if there is a workaround, let me know.

play music!

You know, that album was one of my first guitar influences. What memories.

I have an old Roland Space Echo (RE 101) that needs repair. I have two left hands when it comes to restoring vintage electronics, so I am procrastinating. I did find a pricey restoration kit online, but I want some guidance before I destroy it.

There are places that will repair it for you... such as ECHO FIX.
