Echoplex repair in the US

[Zacharia Matilda]

Does anyone have any recommendations for an Echoplex wizard that could help me get my ep2 back in good health?

Get in touch with @echoplexrepair on Instagram.
He’s retired but should be able to recommend someone.
He turned his repair business over to Benson amps, but they are no longer taking repairs.

You could also try Brian Sours at Soursound.

Or Matt Dawson @allsignalmustpass on Instagram

Mike Saklar here in in Omaha does good work. Look him up at http://www.echoluxe.com/

Send it to your local Amp maker/repair guy. You don't have to spend more than $500 to service an Echoplex.

I would second getting in touch with Pete @echoplexrepair on IG. He is good people and has helped me out a lot.

Thanks dudes. I appreciate the leads.

I'll save you the trouble as these are the two guys the echoplexrepair guy on instagram recommended me:
Beasley Valve and Sound Tube Amp repair
Renberg Amp Repair

I can't give any recommendations to either one as I ended up not buying the echoplex I was looking at as both those two options would have been prohibitively expensive. Ended up being cheaper to just buy one in good condition. I'd imagine if your EP-2 isn't completely fucked it'd be easiest and simplest to take it to whatever local amp tech you like. Usually they just need a new pinch roller and possibly some capacitors changed.

make sure to clean and degauss the tape path if it is running

Also, make sure the dampening guide thingy that is on the plastic roller is properly tensioned, if not you will get warble.
