The restored Tekura 1601 — Jitter Reference: its faceplate as issued.

The restorer's note

A device for adding clock jitter in exact, calibrated amounts — which, as an effect, is a subtle frequency-dependent shimmer no other tool quite makes. Serial 00092: very early, very low. The sidebands scale with pitch, exactly as the instrument intended.

Restored 2024 from 1992 hardware.
