My guess is it broke. It also sounds like you would benefit from doing the 
input gain mod so that the gains are set up like the newer units. (in the 
faq on the LD site)

For future reference, Echoplex repair services are offered by a company 
called British Audio Services, http://www.britishaudioservice.com. I 
believe that is where you will find Shane Radtke, who is an expert on 
repairing them.

You can also contact Gibson at service@gibson.com

Usually, internet mailing lists are really not very efficient at repairing 
hardware!
