It's the memory man. It's bit rusty but it may work. :lol:
-
even if it doesnt it will fetch a few quid on ebay as a repair/project item
-
It begs the question why you were digging around in a skip?
But nice find!
-
Nice find indeed.
I might go digging in skips now!
-
I thought it would be worth looking into getting repaired if it didn't work. I need a delay so it might work out ok. :D
I drive Skip Lorrys in London for a living Dave. Well it's better than getting White line fever on the motorways all day trunking.

Gotcha - keep an eye out for good stuff then do ya? Eh? Eh?
;)

We recently had a customer who found a Marshall 2 x 12 18W that was going into a skip!
-
wow! good work mate. hope it works or easy to fix
-
I used to find a few bits. I found a Yamaha keyboard in the box, that worked ok. An Encore strat. It was shite though. Two very cheap practise amps and two acoustics that were pretty good. I gave a lot of it away. One of the acoustics was a kids sized one. I cleaned it up and gave it to one of girls who works in our office and she gave it to her 9 year old lad. He has taken to it like a duck to water and performed in from of his school around 4 or 5 times. I did have an acoustic in the cab of the lorry with me for around 18 months and practised on my breaks.
I don't see so much now as there are gangs of scavengers that go through skips, bins, peoples gardens and sheds ect. They even scavenge bricks. I thought I was poor! :lol:
-
Good score ! :)
If mounting your dustbin / skip finds on the pedalboard, do remember to put this one after the Tuna.

Wow - that looks really old! Looks like a late 70s one to me, I'm not an expert though.
-
haha wow

I've got an old Little Big Muff from the 70's too.
Does anyone know what sort of power input these are? Like, voltage and polarity?

Hi Johnny, I believe they are all 9v dc. As for polarity, can you look at the battery connection and work it out from that (or let gwEm look at it :) )

I have got one at home that does not see much action these days. If I remember right it had a two pin plug on mine which plugs into a transformer. Very nice analog delay. I only stoppped using mine has the transformer has a annoying hum. Guess I really should get another transformer to plug into. I will have a look when I get home just what voltage it uses.
Anyway I hope you get yours working.
-
I had a look inside it last week when I found it. It has no battery inside, just a small jack plug socket which is the same as my little big muff. The LBM has a battery so I could work it out from that. Good idea Phil, thanks. :D
-
I checked this morning and mine has a cable connected in the left hand corner (near the on off power switch). It has a three pin plug on the end. All be it a rather different one than our the usual 3 plugs we have in the uk. This connects to an AC to AC convertor which has a output of AC 110V.

I got an old Electro Harmonix power supply on Ebay for £4 and this old gem works fine! I think they're from around 1976. It sounds pretty good, all the controls still work ok.
-
Nice one, they sound good. Eric Johnson uses them.
-
So you got an up and running EH delay for 4 quid. Life's pretty good sometimes.
-
Cool find!
