@uppitybunny Hello there again.

[aaron123986]

do they still sell them or are they rare?

[ValcoPages]

@aaron123986 This model was only made in 1967, and I believe all oil can delays were out of production by the end of the '60s. As far as I know, nobody has built them since.

Haunting eeire box.

[Desmaad]

Oilcan delays are electrostatic, not magnetic.

[ValcoPages]

@Desmaad Yes, but you only need a few ounces to refill the can. It's generally sold in small quantities, enough to do a couple of refills.

[Desmaad]

@ValcoPages It's a special oil that can cost as much as $220/gal; eep!

[Tekesaurusrex]

very cool!!

i'm considering getting one of these units..

they do have a very nice tone to them.

i am curious how it sounds with the reverb trim pot all the way up.

@ValcoPages Yes, oil leakage or evaporation was a big problem with these units. I tried getting a free sample but the source has ceased this practice. A gallon of the stuff is quite expensive so the seller on Ebay is selling from a larger supply. Great demo ... thanks again!
