Watkins Tape Echo with 16 Tape Heads

Look Mum No Computer has returned to show us his super modified WEM Watkins Copicat - fitted with 16 tape heads and numerous other additions, including pitch control. Using his own PCBs and 3D printed parts, Sam constructs a huge backboard which houses the 16 tape heads - which have been ingeniously lifted from some ancient tape to audio input devices. Amazing piece of kit, which will presumably echo into the next century!
