Vintage 1970's Wem Watkins Copicat Tape Echo Delay

Columbus, Ohio, 432**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$650

Original tape delay from when that works. Back screw mount to hold the cords is missing. It??s old but still works.

This tape delay is noisy and the actual tape will need replaced as its original and old. Tap will sometimes stop after 5 minutes of play, just need to press down on the top roller to get it going again. Thanks.
