The Blacet Time Machine:

   $309 assembled, $229 kit, but you need to add a case and power
   supply.


The price of a good analog delay is high 'cause of the price of the BBD's 
(bucket brigade delay) these days.

I helped find the chip stash that Bob bought to use in the MF-104, so I 
know what he paid for them. They're pricey. :)

John (Blacet) is using a similar part, but it offers less delay time.


Also, most (quality) analog delays will have a compressor of some sort in 
them, that helps get the characteristic sound. But it also adds to the 
cost.
