Dearmond 60B Tremelo effect pedal 1960 RARE near Mint in box

         Here we have a mint 1 owner Dearmond 60B tremelo unit in the original box with the operation sheet and 2 original cords.  This unit works perfectly and has been tested by my technician of 35 plus years.  We have in the past decades repaired, listed, and sold only a few of these rare units.  I have listed pedal in excellent condition and it could be mint except for a piece of tape residue on the side we are not going to try and get off.  There are also 2 1" rips in the cardboard on the inner box and the box is aged with a couple of price markings.  There are a few VERY minor surface marks as well.

Sounds incredible and works great.

2 summers ago we sold 35 pieces to the movie set of Bill & Teds Most Excellent Adventure 'Face the Music'! with Keanu Reeves.
  Lot's of guitars, amplifiers, rack gear, they wanted a lot of stuff with LOTS of KNOBS!!

We just landed another movie bit in a film called 'Miracle in Detroit'
starring Smokey Robinson. Look for the scene with our shop 'our 10 minutes of fame' in that movie now showing on the Lifetime channel all the way through until Christmas day the 25th!
The scene with our shop takes place in the first 15 minutes of the movie!

Vintage Guitar Magazine: Part of an article written on Dearmond tremelo's.

This effect was listed in brochures variously as the Trem-Trol, Model 60 or 60A, though Carvin and perhaps others labeled it the 601; today, the model numbers are used interchangeably. It was followed by the 60B in a plastic housing that was built into the ’60s. DeArmond also offered the Model 800, combining the Tremolo Control with their Model 600 volume pedal.

The Tremolo Control has just two controls; Increase (controls amount of tremolo) and Speed (adjusts how fast that vial shakes/speed of the modulating signal). “You can go from mild to wild,” Gibbons explains. “Some people might call it ‘Depth.’ I call it, ‘How Far.’”

After Bo Diddley enlightened Gibbons to the Tremolo Control, he sought one. Plugging in, however, he was unimpressed. Little did he know, but his Tremolo Control was suffering from a common ailment of the unit after so many years.

“Many users discarded them or left them behind because they claimed they didn’t work,” Gibbon relates. “But in reality it was just the simple fact that the electrolytic liquid had evaporated. We fooled around and fooled around [with ours] and said, ‘Gee whiz, this thing doesn’t seem to be doing anything,’ and that’s when we took it apart and poked around, and an electronics specialist who worked at the recording studio smiled and said, ‘Oh, you fellows don’t know about that: this unit is missing the fluid.’ I said, ‘What went in there?’ And he said, ‘Well, I’ll tell you what will work, and that’s Windex.
