1974 Vintage Elk EM-4 Professional ECHO machine -
With a copy of a Japanese manual. #0235
The sought after ELK em-4 tape echo machine. The tape heads are in great condition, the cabinet is nice. I opened it up and hit the pots and switches, cleaned and demagnetized the heads and tape, cleaned and lubricated the pinch wheel etc.
Three mic and two instrument inputs. 5 mode choices, repeat amount, echo volume and speed control, as well as bass and treble controls.
Elk is a popular vintage brand in Japan and for good reason. They are very well built, quality machines. This will oscillate gently or give you a nice simple slap back echo and anything in between. Plus variations of swell.
It's in very nice condition cosmetically, I list it as fair because the volume of the echo is not as loud as most of these I have had.Everything works but at max echo volume the echo is not very loud. You can definatley hear it and it is fully useable as is if you don't need really loud echos. But I am selling it AS IS with lower echo volume than most. I didn't look into the cause. see pics.
I linked to a quick, simple YouTube demo (not this unit). #vintageaudionagoya I have lots of videos of these on youtube and insta gram. Vintage audio nagoya. 100v unit but Internal transformer has pole for 110v- will work fine in USA.
** Shipping quote is for UPS/Yamato. It will arrive in the USA in 7-10 days. I can ship cheaper by surface mail if desired. "Rest of world" rate covers most countries but I can't ship to some. Customs duties, tariffs and local taxes vary by country and are the responsibility of the buyer.
Ask any questions you may have before hitting the buy button. I can't ship to some countries.
Thanks, Mark
Sold AS IS -fully functional but with low echo volume. No returns unless damaged in shipping. Needs work to function as others I sell do.
