I sold an identical one in one of the latest VEMIA auctions.=20
It was from Binson, although the letters were R (reverb) and T =
(tremolo).  I used to have an identical one in my Farfisa FR 40.  This =
one is probably a Farfisa pedal: Reverb and Spherasound (leslie-ish - a =
term from FARFISA factory) effects=E2=80=A6 At that time =
(60-70=E2=80=99s) in Italy it was a very common pedal for engaging =
effects=E2=80=A6
