H-H echo unit

["roel" <q-mailing-list@xs4all.nl>]

hi anyone out here, i'm new to this list... :)

 

i've never had the pleasure to own a tape machine or tape echo myself,

but finally this evening i've brought in a second hand H-H echo unit!

 

. i guess it needs a lot of service, since it drops out audio at some moments.

also i know the sound gets most dirty immediately after the first repeat.

though i knew these units do not produce sparkling and clear sounds... the dropouts is what makes me wondering.

 

is there a tutorial on repairing/optimizing/service-ing a tape echo?

 

best, roel
