Unique Baby Binson Echorec for sale serviced and modified with our new super-slow varispeed option. It has a freshly-rewound drum and sounds superb following a thorough rebuild/restoration courtesy of our echo tech, Dr Huw.
This is a pre-order listing – it will ship when we have completed the restoration which is in progress. This could mean a delay of up to a month – we only ship when we are satisfied machines cannot be further-improved.
I’ve never seen another Baby like this – it has a gold faceplate with a later-style vertical magic eye level indicator aperture. The finish is a slightly translucent gold over silver – almost certainly a later refinish. It’s possible this machine was either built to order after the Baby had ceased regular production, or it’s an early machine that returned to the factory for a cosmetic restoration, hence the unique, but apparently authentic face plate.
It has had a full restoration here at Soundgas with varispeed mod performed by our echo tech, Dr Huw. The super-slow varispeed motor option offers the full functionality of regular speed uses, but with additional super-slow speeds for longer, darker, dirtier repeats. This can get properly gnarly when pushed into distortion at slow speed – it should be noted that at the slowest speeds very little fidelity or feedback happens – this is for special effects only rather than regular use.
Demo below of the only other machine with similar spec that we have finished so far – kept for our studio- this shows the more extreme side of the super-slow varipseed option (more Echorec demos further down the listing) – full photos of this machine to follow.
Please note, the photos were taken during servicing/testing period – the unit will undergo further cleaning before shipping and some parts will be replaced/improved.
