Binson Echorec EC 3
Great condition. The owner bought it from Eric Snowball (UK Binson expert) at the end of the 70s, and has taken great care of it since.
UPDATE: Tony just wrote a demo-heavy guide to choosing between some of the Binson models: Which Binson Echorec?
Serviced by us and up to excellent operating condition. Sounds particularly good for one of these units. As with all vintage Binsons, these EC 3 Echorecs vary in sound - this one appears to be a later production and also not have had a hard life.
These desktop versions of the Italian disc echo units were made in the 70s around the same time as the legendary PE models. This is a solid state (transistor) model – it is well made, reliable and versatile - as any head can be switched to replay or regeneration the user has access to a wide range of multiple and scatter echoes. Binsons do tend to encourage experimental noise-mongering. The repeats are not hifi - this is after all 50 year-old technology - if you want perfect repeats, buy a digital delay.
Cosmetic condition is excellent with only very minor signs of use and age.
There are currently no operational issues with this unit at all, but please be aware that these units require looking after and that regular use and maintenance is the key to keeping this in good working order.
