I have found this 1957 "Popular Mecahnics" (spanish edition) at my parent's home and there was this review on some magnificent piece of gear.

It seems to be an attempt at recreating "the sound of a real concert hall, with ambient reverberation and reflexions", and, as they say in the commercial printed on page 156 (quote)

Cooper Time Cube

It's not working this minute.. but that Xophonic is a tiny time cube.

Cool!!!

Both have been lost in time... or space?

Ever used one of either the Xophonic or the UREI?

Still, the Xophonic is a longer trametravel. It was built in 1957, while the UREI is a copy built in 1971.

Timecube, yep! It's a honky, cool delay. The guitar on ZZ Top's Tush...

I want a Xophonic.. what a neat find!

What great timing.  I found and bought one this past year.  I've realized that I've got too much stuff piling up and I'm going to sell a bunch of stuff off including the Xophonic.

$150 plus shipping.

P.S.  The Time Cubes are cool.  They've got 2 at the Sound Factory(www.sunsetsound.com), originally used mostly for pre-delay there.  I've used them as short delays on tracks.  Puts things in a cool space.
