Analog Echoplex

[c62op27@ibx.com (Victor Fiorillo)]

I just found an analog echoplex in mint condition for $250.00.  Is that a 
good price?

Also, I hear so much about the digital echoplex.  Is the digital echo an 
attempt to emulate the analog, or is it just a different effect?  So much 
of the analog effect is due to its mechanical and temperamental nature, so 
I wonder about the digital's efficacy.
