Hi Mike,

Ooooh, analogue.  I remember that.

Possibly still available (I checked the Digikey book without success, but
RS etc. maybe?) would be bucket-brigade delay lines, which were used
extensively for audio effects (delay / spin / reverb etc.) in the olde
days.  Recoton was a manufacturer if memory serves, as I think were
NatSemi, but they've been shedding even less esoteric product than that in
recent years.

They had only so-so noise performance, but their dynamic range would be
plenty good enough for what you're suggesting.  The through delay is
varied by clocking their fixed-length chain of buckets faster or slower.
