Actually it's no joke. I owned 2 of them and sold both 
to a fellow in Toronto for $1750.00 (with six button 
remote a foot controller that makes it about as easy 
to use as the EDP).

To know the unit is to love it. I had a real tough time 
saying goodbye to mine myself. All of the hype surrounding 
the Echoplex as the ultimate looping device finally won me 
over in the end though. 

I sold them to get the $$$ to buy the fully maxed out pair
of Obies that I got just a month or so ago. Though the EDPs 
are terrific in several ways that I hope to fully take 
advantage of, I still miss the ability to simply grab a slider
and mess with delay time (and pitch), and the modulation
control. Yep, I know they were ancient technology compared
to what we now have available, but their low fidelity gave 
them a charm all their own. And they worked... I owned them 
for over 10 years and they only went to the shop once.

So that price is actually pretty close to the going rate...
