Looks like a swissecho on top of the Selmer. Does anyone have one. Good old Bert

That is certainly a Swissecho - I owned one for many years.

The build quality is second to none although the echo timings were not suitable for Shads numbers.

We had a Swissecho.
When it was good it was very good but the tape used to slur a lot of the time.
In the end we slung the cassette and modified it to use a loop ala Copycat.

That may be the cassette model but there is also a similar tape loop model the 566 which I have. This has
4 playback heads 1 which is adjustable. As already said these are very well made units from the Swiss company Uniton AG.

The Burns Orbit is a Double 12 and it sold on eBay a couple of years back

Wasn't sure as it hasn't got the 'Double 12' badge bottom right corner ?
