Yes That jack is not compatible with pedal power. You’ll need a different one.

From your photos it looks like the red wire is connected to the center pin. Standard pedal power supplies use the center pin for ground. Even if you swapped the wires I don’t think that jack will work since it joins the outer sleeve to the enclosure. That would put 9v to the enclosure which is...

Is that jack set up for center positive instead of center negative? The correct center negative ones don’t normally have any metal contacting the enclosure.

Love it! I have a bunch of weird switches around and whenever I see them I think I should do something like that, but then I’m too lazy.

That one comes holy.

Now you know how us peasants feel :ROFLMAO:

There are no shortcuts. I have to learn that over and over again but it's true. Seems like a lot of work to do it right and pull the panel, so you end up spending two hours messing with q tips when you could have had it off, washed and back on in half the time. And you're not going to be...

Take it off and take it to the sink. Toothbrush and soapy water will do wonders and won’t hurt it. I dig the cigarette burn on that cover. Very 70s.

Could still be a mechanical connection issue somewhere else - cracked solder joint, broken wire, switch problem etc. With a problem like that it’s nice to plug in a looper or constant audio source then get in there and manhandle everything while it’s playing.

Is it in sound on sound mode?

Big tools, big demagnetizer.

That is pretty clean! Another data point on the date question - Yours has a board mine doesn't. I think that's an onboard compressor. I've read some posts about them - If I remember, they added that around 77. I think sometimes people take that out or disconnect it. Not sure if that's because...

Congrats! Keep us updated on your attempts to get it working. According to AI... Mine which looks visually similar to yours appears to be from Oct 66. Or at least that pot is…

They should power up when you rotate the sustain knob off-zero.

Working they go for around 1k. You can get some service parts, but I'm not sure what you'd do if the motor was cooked. https://echofix.com/collections/echoplex-parts

I had some intermittent noise issues in a pedal that ended up being transistors making poor contact in sockets. Can you make the crackling better or worse by banging the pedal on the ground while you play?

Sounds like there’s something wrong with it. Have you popped out the filter chamber/ checked the air hose for obstructions and airflow when the trigger is pulled? Can you hear the air pump kick on when you pull the trigger?

Love it! I was going to mention that “Shoebills are Metal” vid, but I see you already tagged it.
