Here is the classic tape echo unit from WEM. The Watkins Copicat went through many permutations, this one is a MK III. These were the last model before the bean counters got involved. So it has the full size tape heads, not the cheaper generic cassette recorder heads. The more stylish chicken head knobs and the voltage selecter (240/220/110volts). Most of these features were lost by the time that the MK IV came along!This one is in nice vintage condition, with some scuffing and some sl...ight damage to the rear vent. As with lots of these units this one has had the fixed on/off foot pedal removed and a jack socket added the plug a switch into. For authentisity it's a shame, but if you've ever tried putting all the bits back into the little side storage space you'll know what a challenge it is! Unfortunately I am unable to supply a foot switch with the unit. However any single use switch will do the job. The unit has had a full service and is working well, with the motor running sweetly and the echo delivering as it should. It will be supplied with some extra tape loops to help keep your echo's sounding fresh and crisp! S/N CW47699.
