SOLD: Tesla Echolana 2 tape echo unit C1967
Posted: Thu Apr 18, 2013 1:31 pmFor those interested in vintage FX this is a curious unit - it owes me $nnn which is what I'm after for it.
Tesla Echolana tape echo unit from approx 1967 - made in Czechoslovakia. From what I can ascertain it's a germanium based unit with a typically grungey sound that obtained a somewhat legendary status and was banned from public use etc.
This one has a power cable and powers up ok on 240v - the tape activation / drive mechanisms run, BUT, I don't have the tape loop or DIN cables to test it. So buyer beware - it appears to work but I'm not sure. You will need some DIN to XLR/TS cables and some 1/4" tape + splicing tape/block and some head cleaning kit to test it properly.
It's in good nick externally - and reminds me of old Jawa and CZ motorcycles from the '60s.
