This is the original ca. 1983 EH 16 second delay with Magnastorage.  It's as rare as hen's teeth according to any site you can find one mentioned, let alone for sale.  Remember King Crimson?  Robert Fripp used one."The Electro-Harmonix 16 Second Digital Delay remains a classic even in the much-improved 21st century world of digital modeling. Due to certain scions of the guitar world (like Nels Cline of Wilco) keeping it on their boards, original specimens have increased significantly in value and collectability in the past few years."  (Reverb.com)"The 16 Second Digital Delay was one of EH's greatest achievements. At the time, it was the ultimate in digital delays and they're still coveted by guitarists the world over".FEATURESCONTROLS
