The EH ManModerator
That’s not an original 16 Second Delay, it’s a reissue.
The switch is a right angle slide switch. I suggest taking measurements of the other switch and looking at electronic sites for something similar.
The EH ManModeratorIt shouldn’t affect the rate at all. More likely, this is the result of varying component tolerances.
The EH ManModeratorContinuity is not a good thing. At this point you’re probably better off sending it to a tech.
The EH ManModeratorMaybe, but if resistors blew then you had to be powering it with something larger than 9v. I’d venture that some ICs are blown.
The EH ManModeratorYou shouldn’t have 18v anywhere. What are you powering it with?
The EH ManModeratorAs long as there’s a plug in the input jack, it will be using the battery power up. This is the way most pedals are set up. If you’re not going to use it for a while, just unplug the input jack.
The EH ManModeratorI’d be concerned that it won’t get the correct voltages to the circuit. According to the Echoflanger schematic, there should be +15VDC and a +7.5VDC. That 24vac transformer I linked is small enough to fit in there. I’ve used it several times.

There may be a striped center-tap that doesn’t need to be unsoldered for this). It should be around 24VAC. If it’s much lower than that then the transformer may be 100v. Really, as long as the secondary voltage is higher than the voltage regulator’s rating it’s not going to make much difference.

You can look at the top of the transformer and see what it says. It may say “120” on it in the model number.
The EH ManModeratorA little heftier with current but will work fine.
The EH ManModeratorVintage EH pedals for the Canadian market used a 24vac adapter instead of a hard-wired AC cord. The mini-jack (1/8″ or 3.5mm) is likely correct.
The EH ManModeratorThis the transformer I use for US conversion:
The EH ManModeratorIt’s actually 9v DC. AC will destroy your pedal. Daisy chaining with other DC operated pedals should be fine. The pedal will only draw as much current as it actually needs, which is less than 100ma.
The EH ManModeratorUnfortunately, no.
