Re: Gibson Echoplex Noise problem



"For future reference, Echoplex repair services are offered by a company
called British Audio Services, http://www.britishaudioservice.com. I
believe that is where you will find Shane Radtke, who is an expert on
repairing them."--Kim Flint

I've had Shane do some EDP work, his turnaround time was a few days at
the time, not counting shipping to and from.
