In the confusion of slight differences in models, this is indeed a BX-10.
Another Amazing piece of audio history and a truly incredible sounding Reverb. And yes, it can hold it's own against the mighty EMT-250 albeit with alot less flexibility, and more narrow focus of sound. A truly beautiful piece. Lush stereo or mono Spring Reverb. There is a bit of tape residue on the front as you can see. Other than that, it's in excellent condition.

Is there any special equipment that are your “desert island” pieces?
Well, in Queens, everything goes to a 1-inch, 8-track MCI. That’s how it starts. The pieces of gear I use here the most are a 4-track cassette [recorder], which I love processing through. I have a Binson Echorec, an Eventide [Instant] Phaser, an AKG BX10 [spring reverb], and an Echoplex.
