Customer Reviews
I purchased this, the motor rebuild kit and recap kit to fully restore my SRE-555 and it sounds phenomenal. Shane was also fast to respond when I reached out with questions. Always excellent service, I have been a repeat customer for years.
Bought my RE-501 second hand nearly 20 years ago, decided to sell as part of downsizing but when I plugged it in the performance was really poor dull wobbly repeats you couldn't drive into feedback had a spare loop tried that no improvement found Echo Fix on line and decided to give it a go knowing I would get a better price if it worked better, well it works and sound fantastic now and Im not selling it anymore, so I thoroughly recommend this kit and hope they can offer a variable erase head mod as they are now fitting to their EF-X2 tape echo machine which looks fantastic.
This kit is a good way to go when acquiring any vintage machine.
This product can save my sre-555 that broke down.
