There's nothing worse than an amateur paint job on an old #Binson #Echorec. Fortunately with an understanding of solvents, and a great deal of patience, things can be put back the way they should be #binsonechorec

Newly machined magnetic drum locking screw installed - much better than the 4BA round-head screw that someone had jammed in there! #binson #echorec #tapeecho

Re-magnetising a #Binson #Echorec erase magnet assembly. As the years pass by these old Alnico magnets gradually weaken and after 50 years they're well overdue for a refill. #binsonechorec

Well, this is new: open-frame heads with barely any wear on them. This echo machine had been in storage at Bray Studios for decades, so possibly only saw service for special sound effects on British 1960's sci-fi movies such as "Quatermass" and "X for Unknown". #Echorec #Binson

Do not lose this tiny ball bearing if refurbishing the old Lorenz motor on an Echorec. I dropped it on the floor but was lucky and found it again. #echorec #binson #vintageecho

Yet another bizarre, #Binson #Echorec problem: Where's the bearing? It's worn away. A few bits of green material dropped out of the bottom. Without the bearing the rotor drops down and its cooling fins grind against the stator. #binsonechorec

Lorenz Motor
Today in the workshop we're servicing a #Binson #Echorec Lorenz motor—it's vitally important to replenish the oil in those sintered bearings as they will have dried out after 50 years of use. #binsonechorec #tapeecho

Binson Echorec
Another #Binson restoration almost completed - this time a gorgeous 'T7E' #Echorec with beautiful old style knobs. What's more this old machine still retains it's original high torque German 'Lorenz' motor. #EchorecRestoration

Echorec record head
Buying a refurbished #Echorec from a vintage gear dealer? Do check that a playback head hasn't been fitted where the record head should be (the record has green and yellow wires). More info on what to lookout for in this handy #Binson Buyer's guide: www.effectrode.com/knowledge-ba...

Echorec head screws
When restoring a #Binson #Echorec always use the right type of screws—black zinc oxide M2 slotted. Also don't forget to install shake-proof lock washers in right positions—this is not as obvious as you might think. #BinsonEchorecSpecialists
