What the seller had to say:
“Very cool vintage Ace Tone EC-10 tape echo. Made in Japan. Ace tone became Roland, so this is the precursor to the Roland Space Echo. Powers on and motor spins fine and it passes signal. However, there is no echo/delay. Could be a simple fix for someone with some tech skills. Only other issue is that the VU meter is loose. A previous owner tried to tape it in place, but it didn’t hold long. A simple fix with a dab of superglue.”
