I could'nt afford a Binson back then , I progressed to a Meazzi Factotum echo unit and they took some beating !
When I was with the Iveys ,Pete Ham had a Swissecho and what a disaster that turned out to be, it
had a rotary spool of tape and we were playing in Bournmouth when the echo effect stopped midway through a song,
turning around we were horrified to see all the tape unwinding out of the machine and onto the floor, that was the last time that was used !
I did have a Binson, given to me in the mid '80's ,the MK 3 I think, but the drum had de-magnetised, it was in excellent condition but my ex-wife after I had left ,threw it in the bin !! Oh well !
