No obvious signs of parts replacement were found during inspection.The pedal shows scratches, dirt, oxidation, and signs of age, but overall it remains in clean condition for a vintage unit of this era.

However, the input jack may have some plug compatibility sensitivity. Among five shielded cables tested, one cable had a slight looseness at the input jack, and the sound could cut out if the plug was moved side to side.Replacement of the jack was considered, but since the unit appears to remain original and the jack structure is not simple to disassemble, preservation of the original condition was prioritized. The jack was cleaned and treated as much as possible while keeping the original part intact.Serial Number / Estimated Production PeriodSerial number: Not specifiedEstimated 1975 buildPossibly assembled around mid to late 1975The dating estimation is based on internal component markings, including likely 1974 date codes on the LM2902 op-amps and likely 1975-era production codes on the electrolytic capacitors.Because some of the component codes are manufacturer-specific and cannot be interpreted with absolute certainty, this dating should be considered an informed estimate rather than a confirmed production date.Production Dating EvidenceOperational AmplifiersLM2902N — Marking: 418LM2902M — Marking: 421These markings are consistent with likely 1974 date codes:418 = likely 1974 Week 18421 = likely 1974 Week 21This suggests that the op-amps were likely manufactured around May 1974.Electrolytic CapacitorsDocumented capacitor markings inside this unit include:10V 47µF — Marking unclear / no visible serial code50V 1µF — Marking: 5F3350V 1µF — Marking: 5F3316V 10µF — Marking: 5B3316V 10µF — Marking: 5B3316V 10µF — Marking: 5B33The 5B33 and 5F33 markings appear consistent with 1975-era production codes. If read as year/month-style codes, they may suggest parts from around early to mid 1975.Because the exact capacitor manufacturer code system has not been confirmed, these markings are used as supporting evidence rather than absolute proof.Transistors2SC1000 GR — Marking: T:4T2SC1000 GR — Marking: T:4T2SK30A Y — Marking: T.4J2SK30A Y — Marking: T.4J2SK30A Y — Marking: T.4J2SK30A Y — Marking: T.4J2SK30A Y — Marking: T.4J2SK30A Y — Marking: T.4IThese transistor markings appear consistent with mid-1970s Japanese component production and align well with the likely 1974–1975 component period.Other Documented Internal MarkingsTrimmer: 5 C 503PCB marking: 052-112AFootswitch: Miyama MS-135-136Footswitch rating: 10A-2.5V AC / 6A-250V ACAll components appear original.About the Roland AP-2 PHASE-IIThe Roland AP-2 PHASE-II is an early Roland-branded phaser pedal from the 1970s, before the BOSS compact pedal era became dominant.It represents an important period in Roland’s early effects history, when the company was still developing its original pedal designs under the Roland name.

Pedal only.Note: Batteries are not included.This pedal operates with two 9V batteries only.AC adapter operation is not supported.Shipping / Import Duties / Address RestrictionsShipping costs and delivery conditions are determined according to the individual listing, destination, package size, declared value, and current customs and shipping requirements.International orders are shipped from Japan using Japan Post EMS (Express Mail Service).EMS shipping is available only when the package meets the applicable size, weight, declared value, destination, customs, and service requirements.If EMS is unavailable for the destination or cannot be used due to the package size, weight, declared value, customs requirements, service limitations, or other shipping conditions, we may contact the buyer for clarification, request an alternative address, or cancel the order.If free shipping is offered, it normally applies to outbound shipping charges only.Shipments to the United States are generally sent under DDP conditions in accordance with current U.S. customs and Japan Post requirements.For qualifying U.S. shipments, the customs duties covered by the DDP declaration are prepaid by the seller before shipment.However, DDP shipping does not guarantee that the buyer will have no additional charges.Additional duties, taxes, customs reassessments, customs clearance fees, brokerage fees, carrier handling fees, storage charges, or other expenses not included in the original DDP declaration may still be imposed by U.S. customs authorities or the delivery carrier.Any such additional charges are the buyer’s responsibility.Taxes or fees collected separately by Reverb are not included in the Japan Post DDP customs prepayment.For destinations or charges not covered by DDP, import duties, taxes including VAT, customs clearance fees, brokerage fees, carrier handling fees, and any other charges imposed by the destination country or delivery carrier are also the buyer’s responsibility.VAT or taxes collected by Reverb at checkout may not include customs duties, clearance fees, postal handling fees, or carrier charges.Please NoteWe cannot normally ship to P.O.
