Hey, if it's not operating correctly, then by all means, get it fixed.

And, when it finally dies,

I love this one.

There is also another company making a similar copy for VST only though.

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for the link to Orbitelectronix, but being located in Europe (France) sending it over to them will be too expensive for me.

I'll try to try to fix it myself first and if it doesn't work i'll take it to a tech somewhere in Europe.

The only user manual i found doesn't go further than the one i have on the unit's top panel's back

Anyone has a manual with schematics and willing to share it ?

Thanks

PM me your email address and I'll forward a copy of the service manual.

Hi all,

FInally it was just a matter of good cleaning and lubricating... A bit ashamed to have asked before getting to the basics but i thought my local tech would have done it !

Anyway thanks for all your help !

No shame in asking at all. I swear my old Space Echo has moods. Somedays it behaves much better than others.

It's always nice to hear about one that was behaving badly and then was coaxed back to normalcy with some TLC.

I'm having a problem with my echo level as well. My 201 has worked beautifully for the year that I've had it and now you can only hear one repeat very faintly when you turn the Echo Volume all the way up. The Repeat Rate affects the time but no regeneration with the Intensity knob. The Reverb works fine. I cleaned the heads and applied tension to affect head contact as described above in this thread (no change). I realize that I should replace the tape but this didn't happen gradually. Any troubleshooting or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, guys.
PS: Someone asked for the Service Manual - here's a link to the 201 / 101 manual:
