So, what does a Junior sound like?
By far, my favorite was what I used in the 70s and 80s, a PEI Junior. Unfortunately, it gave up the ghost. I had used a Univox Univibe before the Junior and Boss RT20 later in life. I currently use (for maybe 10 years now) a Tech 21 Rotochoir. I used it on this song/video in 1983.

A brief search on the internet turns up almost nothing on this device.
Do you still have it?
Has anyone ever looked at it?
Even without a schematic, it's 50 year old technology.
It can't be that complicated that a reasonably good tech with some minor test equipment might not be able to fix. |

I have one but it stopped working and it’s been on a shelf for ten years. It was a cool sound. _________________ KEVIN MAUL: Airline, Beard, Clinesmith, Donner, Evans, Excel, Fender, Fluger, Gibson, Hilton, Ibanez, Justice, K+K, Live Strings, MOYO, National, Oahu, Peterson, Quilter, Rickenbacher, Sho~Bud, Supro, TC, Ultimate, VHT, Williams, X-otic, Yamaha, ZKing. |

Nope. I tossed it out 20+ years ago. _________________ Carter D10 8p/8k, Dekley S10 3p/4k C6 setup,Regal RD40 Dobro, Recording King Professional Dobro, NV400, NV112,Ibanez Gio guitar, Epiphone SG Special (open D slide guitar) . Playing for 54 years and still counting. |

I also loved mine and, like everyone else'it seems, mine died a long-ago death.
I seem to recall that they were originally called The Lester but Leslie made a stink so the named was changed to The Junior. (?) |
