All of those HIFI type spring verbs sound okay, but not great. That one looks really fun.
Like a pre-serious Beck video in your room, at all times!!! Now you just need a blonder-tongue audio baton, and an MCI 400 series console with the full rainbo meter bridge, and you would be ROCKING.
Enjoy that. cool find, even if it is just fun to use, that cant be discounted. A lot of gear is like that. Thigs that have become classics because they sound good AND they are easy/enjoyable to use.

I bought one of them in 2004 for $12 on eBay. I've patched it in a few times but it never made a mix. Noisy, for one, however I do like the reverb. Mine probably needs a recap, which isn't worth it to me.

Try slapping the side of it when you have it at full blast, but insert a compressor after it!
