Hi Mike,
Reticon was who I meant, however they seemed to have skipped out of that town,
too. A further 30 seconds perusal of the Digikey book turned up a bunch of
Panasonic parts of various lengths and permutations. For a millisecond or two
even the shortest devices would be adequate (sampling-rate limitations rule
here just as they do in digital); at a stab I'd say the 8-pin DIP MN3009
256-bucket alleged 'low-noise' part at $4.84 would be the one. It with a 555
to clock it is basically all you'd need.
Other parts listed are MN3003,8,10,11,12, MN3204,6,8,9 and 14 if that helps
you source them closer to home.

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.
