RE: Re : tape echo design

Sounds like a great project! I've been using/repairing vintage equipment 
for years, and 3 head units are by far the most interesting to use. I 
would suggest, if you are able to locate any, take a look at schematics of 
some of the more basic units, you might save some time + effort. Keep in 
touch.
All the best,
