I bought a Tel Ray Variable Delay recently on ebay and boy is it a rust bucket. The electronics and inside the can are mysteriously in good order. I'm using Vinegar sandpaper steel wool anything i can...

Still needs a little more cleaning needed but it's coming along just a question, What are the four Potentiometers at the back for? There's two in the centre and two on just two the left of the can.

Although I don't know 100% without the schematic, I think the pots on the back are for setting the "record level" that'd make the most sense.... I doubt it's for bias of the tube, but it could be.

Thanks Vexorgtr, The two on the main unit were for Reverb and Direct I scrubbed them off when cleaning the unit ( Saw it on the original pic) the other two on the can are not known but a friend said...

Hi Vexor and friends, I just checked the back of my Organ tone and it appears to have the same pots errrr three have been removed, Never really looked at this one much other than to change the oil, So...

Hi again, Has anyone got pics of the Variable delay insides in particularly the oil can section? when i bought it it started falling apart as i opened the box and i'm not sure if any parts are...

You may have to... When one of these ends up here, I (and my associate) end up reading the schematic and figuring out what's going on.... it takes some detective work.

Hi Vexorgtr, When looking at Schematics for the montarbo Drums echo's not only did it go way over my non electronic mind but also there was nothing on the actually mechanics of the unit Drum Heads etc...

Hi Folks learning more about this unit as i go along. The Reverb pot at the back is the repeats, Turning that up is where the self oscillation occurs, as far s the valves go you gotta go with the...

Hi still working away at it, I did manage to figure out where the string goes it's on the back of the speed pot ( Pictured) it's the red color one in pic 1, I haven't attached it yet the one i'm using...

Ok, so I WAS right... the pot on the back is a RECORD STRENGTH pot.... Sounds like you are doing things the right way. 12AX7 type tubes are very easy to come by, and there's good current production...

Thanks Vexorgtr not sure about record strength, Is that what you think the Reverb pot stands for? Or maybe that could be one of the pots at the back of the can but there are four pot's at the back two...

I think i might be getting to the bottom of the string theory and that is they weren't originally designed with string at all but a gear lever mechanism perhaps like that found in a clock or more...

Hi, I've kinda changed my mind on string theory comment, Perhaps it was more electrical than mechanical? I think it probably had wires running from the the speed pot to a small motor attached to the...
