The Roland RE501 Space Echo is an awesome piece of kit.
Check out the 7 Part YouTube Video Series on bringing a rather sick example back to it's full glory!
Another strange fault (aren't they all?) with an ARP Odyssey. The Keyboard CV would not stay stable and would slowly decay over time whilst also being highly susceptible to changes in temperature!
