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!
