Offered for sale here is this very rare Watkins Shadow Echo dating from the early sixties in fair cosmetic condition and excellent working order. Cosmetically, it's a bit scruffy, but it sounds superb (please see detailed photos above and below). This has undergone a thorough mechanical and electrical overhaul/service and has been fitted with a three-core earthed mains cable for safety - there are no known issues with this unit.
Sonically, it's similar to a Mk2 Copicat - but only has two replay heads rather than 3. The preamp section is lovely - great vintage tone.

It's fitted with a new tape - these are easy to bulk buy online, but if the winning bidder wants some spares, please message us for prices/quantities. For best performance tape loops should be changed regularly.

It is a UK 240v model so will require a step-up transformer for use in countries with 100-110v mains supplies; the UK plug will be removed for overseas deliveries unless otherwise requested (will be left on for USA/Canada/Japan).
