This is a great Flanger made in the mid/late 70s by Electra.
I think my 505F is completely original.3 trims inside are excellent in their position. Mine has 4 knobs and it's quite easy to find a great tone!It's not just a flanger or flanger is not just a sweep!
Here a web page I made where to find pictures and further informations about it:

Sound is worm and smooth and with a couple of old delays becomes very psychedelic! It's very seventies.

I`m using this with lots of different tube amps and guitars.This is the most Musical !!!!effect pedal I`ve ever owned. Ive been playing for thirty plus years and have owned Boss MXR Ibanez and countless other units. This is just a beautifly subtle pedal. I`m actually not a big fan of flangers but this can do a chorus and phase type sounds.I`ts also incredibly quiet for a flanger.I`d pretty much stopped using stomp boxes until I bought this.

This pedal must have been made in the late 70`s and it still works great. I`ve owned it for about ten years.

I was looking around some pawn shops for nothing in perticuler when I saw this pedal with a $19 price tag. Since I own a Electra 935 Les Paul copy I thought it would bo fun to have the pedal> I offered the man ten for it and we settled on $13. I didnt even try it out if I remember correctly. When I got it home I coudn`t believe how good it sounded. This is not a over the top type flange if that is what your looking for.I`ve seen some there other pedals in Vintage Guitar magazine for $80 and $90 dollars so I`ll just keep looking at the local pawn shops.I would pay a lot more to get another one of these guys.
