i got super lucky and picked this up for a song. i'm in the mood to get it going.
it powered on but was otherwise non functioning when i got it. there was an obvious cracked tube, well worn tape, and a resistor
that had broken free. i replaced the tube, resoldered the resistor, got some new tape, and cleaned the heads and rollers.
now that i can play through it, it still won't echo. there's a loud hum directly related to the "echo volume" control. when i turn that
knob up the hum volume increases to unusable amounts and my guitar signal becomes buried in noise. however, if i give a quick staccato pick attack i can hear the repeat of that attack noisily in the background. so it's almost working. any thoughts as to where i should be looking?
