There is something very special about the imperfections of old recording technology and sometimes things are so broken they kind of take on a life of their own. Over the years I have come to cherish a knackered old Polish Sochor tape delay in my studio which has so much wow and flutter the effect it imparts into delay and reverb is really quite special and I have resisted attempting to repair it for many years now as I fear that magic would be lost.

Today's happy accident was made by feeding a Roland D-50 via a Fairchild 664 L/C EQ and matching germanium preamp into the Sochor delay which was was pretty much all over the place as usual :-]
