VOX V807 - NOT WORKING - NEED HELP! BE A PAL?

feeds@yuku.com (Russ Rubman) — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 17:00:24 GMT

I just bought this oil can reverb on E-Bay. It is a DOA unit and needs the touch of a pro. Is there anyone here that will be my hero and help me to fix it up? I have lots of extra gear to offer in trade for the potential volunteer or I'll pay cash if that's your kind of thing :-)

Someone here can fix this thing for sure. Please be a stand up guy (or girl) and come forward instead of just reading this and hunching back over your soldering station with a crotchety grumble....

In the mid sixties Goya was also a distributor of Tel-Ray oilcans and were featured in their catalogues.

Fender Variable Delay

feeds@yuku.com (mirage53) — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 12:11:36 GMT

I have a Fender Variable Delay- according to the ad, I was going to look at a Fender Reverb. This guy didn 't know what he had and neither did I. But it looked interesting and for $40 I figured it might be worth something. I did some lube work and reversed the rubber drive wheel that had worn- due to the drive shaft needing lube. It has original NOS 12ax7's and works as an amp- but no delay. I read this site and am waiting to hear back on the fluid I didn't know I needed. Apparently this...

Fender Special Effects Center

feeds@yuku.com (morgan lin) — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 13:13:03 GMT

I have the pleasure of visiting George Mattson, former tech for the pop group "Starship". He has a recording studio set up in his house and is very impressive. I spent yesterday afternoon in his studio evaluating and discussing Oilcan units and just have fun.
He has in his possession a Fender Special Effects Center (first time I have actually seen and played with one) and a Morley Rotating Wah pedal both in excellent working condition and in excellent cosmetic...

Fender Super Showman - Oil Can and Fuzz inside

feeds@yuku.com (Basstyra) — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 04:23:21 GMT

Hello guys !

I'm new here... So I guess telling a little about myself would be appropriate. I'm french, I'm 23, and I'm finishing my studies of Electrical Engineering. I'm a gear addict, vintage stuff lover, but I didn't come across a Oil Can delay yet.

Well, in fact, I currently do, and that's why I'm here.

I just won an ebay...

Rare 1971 Tel-Ray/Morley prototype effect.

feeds@yuku.com (capnjuan) — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 09:36:29 GMT

I guess this is directed mostly to oilcandelay and Morgan Lin:

The unit above is listed on a music gear exchange site; gas-bag seller says it's a proto-type. As I recall Morgan, you have a similar unit; big Morely metal pedal tied to an oil can unit in boxy housing.

This one is blue; from memory yours is black. Did you get yours to work and are you happy with it? Does it have a weird layout or other characteristics rendering it, well, overly frustrating to mess with?

I...

Have a Fender Branded Tel-Ray Adineko unit
it has one tube in it....it's at my tech's shop and I could use help with the schematics.

The reverberation knob doesn't seem to do anything

FYI, I found a source for Ucon oil. It's now on ebay.

Schaller Echo Sound

feeds@yuku.com (gingerboy) — Wed, 08 Feb 2006 14:33:31 GMT

First of all: Hi Everybody!

Ive just joined this group. Have aquired a not-quite functional Morley EDL recently; in search for info I came across this here forum. The usual story I guess.

I also own an old Schaller delay that uses an aluminium drum as a storage device, albeit no oil. So its probably "off topic" here, dunno. Im also not sure how the Schaller technology compares to the Adineko. The succeeding (then solid state) Schaller model uses a disc similar to the...

Morley EVO

feeds@yuku.com (PPMKLY) — Wed, 07 Sep 2005 14:55:23 GMT

Does anyone know if the knobs for a Morely EVO can be purchased? if so, I need 3.
Thanks,
PM

I was contacted and I've ordered 3 knobs from MOUSER Electronics. They appear to be very close to original. I also found the round rubber stops for the pedal to base transition area.

Thanks

Tel-Ray Ad.N.Echo Electronic Sound Chamber Model 3000

feeds@yuku.com (morgan lin) — Thu, 22 Jan 2004 12:59:26 GMT

Picked this one up on eBay about two weeks ago. Cosmetically very clean and the inside of the oilcan is also very clean and shinny but no oil. Functions flawlessly with the additional of new oil. Consequently did not open up the unit.

Front Panel - One Mic input with its own volume control and one instrument input. One output and one remote jack. Six slide switches (Two positions on/off) for effects : Distort; Bass boost; Bright Boost; Echo/Reverb; Long Delay; Short Delay. Two...

Vox V807 Echo Reverb oil can unit

I just acquired a Thomas Vox V807 Echo Reverb oil can unit. Anybody know anything about these?

Morley EVO-1 and Rotating Sound Expression pedal

feeds@yuku.com (pintoad) — Fri, 05 Dec 2003 16:59:03 GMT

Hello, I am new to this forum and would like to start
by saying thank you for all the info on these great
effects. I have heard some of them in action but
not the Morley EVO-1. I have one of each of the
Morley pedals in the subject line above but the
EVO-1 does not work.

The Rotating Sound pedal sounds like tremolo gone
echo if that makes sense, I don't know what the
variation control does or is supposed to do, it sounds
like it is just another intensity...

Standel Duette Oil Can Echo/Reverb/Pre-amp

feeds@yuku.com (one hundred hertz) — Sun, 02 Nov 2003 18:08:30 GMT

Hello,

I own a standel duette II oilcan echo/reverb/pre-amp. I know it has the Tel Ray adineko electronics. The echo/delay sounds great on my wurlitzer piano, but the reverb knob has no effect to the signal. If anyone knows how the reverb works please let me know. The unit has three knobs: 1 for echo volume, 1 for reverb volume, and 1 for echo type (there are three types of echo). There is also a precision trim pot for the direct signal in the rear of the unit; it can only be...

Gibson GA4RE

Hello - I am new to the board, but have been reading since I found Richard over on the Gretsch board.

Today I received a Gibson oil can unit thanks to Richard's help and am very pleased. The tone and warmth are fantastic.

After a few hours of experimentation, I have a few questions for the group and wonder if you can be of help.

Here goes:

The three settings seem to work in this manner: 1 ='s what seems to be the shortest setting, closest to a reverb. 2 and 3...

Univox EM-200

feeds@yuku.com (Mystery Train) — Thu, 24 Oct 2002 16:35:51 GMT

Hi,

I've purchased an EM-200 that works but needs some help - control of delay time and # of repeats is a bit funky, and there's a good bit of rumble and hiss. I haven't looked inside yet, in part because I'm trying to decide whether to keep it or return it to the seller.

Can anyone help me out with some info on this unit? I'm not even sure it's an "oilcan" delay - I've been told it might be a Magnetic Disc unit like a Binson. Any info would be greatly...

GA-3RV

feeds@yuku.com (erksin) — Wed, 25 Sep 2002 11:37:37 GMT

Does anybody have any info on Gibson's GA-3RV Reverb Unit? Was it similar to Fender's in it's layout and tube compliment?

Thanks,

Mike

GA-77RETL info/help

feeds@yuku.com (erksin) — Tue, 24 Sep 2002 14:22:49 GMT

Hey Guys!

This is a GREAT forum - thanks, Zak!

I have started doing a history of Gibson 'Crestline' series amps (1962-1965) and stumbled upon the GA-77RETL posted on the site. If Stan Krome (the guy who posted the pix) is here, could he (or anyone else) give me some more info on the amp, please?

I'd like to know the control panel layout, the output tubes used (they look like 6L6s), and the size of the JBL. Any help is greatly appreciated...

I'm also on the lookout...

Fender Echo Reverb

feeds@yuku.com (jgregers) — Sat, 31 Aug 2002 07:43:34 GMT

Hello, I'm new to this site, but I really appreciate the vast amount of info you people have amassed. I'm not a tech, I'm just an analog effect freak. I'm looking to get an oilcan unit for my BF Fender Bassman. Can anyone tell me if the Fender Echo Reverb is an oilcan delay AND a spring reverb? Or does the reverb also come from the oilcan? Are there problems with the Fender E/R that I should know about? Can you use the reverb without the echo and vice-versa? How big of a difference is...
