This will take a bunch of you back!!!



Nothing sounded like it!!

Cor Blimey Bob! an absolute must have back when.This will prompt me to dig mine out of storage (under the bed) It's an old Sound City version. I'll see if I can get some pics up if I find it.

I think we all progressed to a Binson after the WEM Copicat. I ended up with a Klempt Echorette which was brilliant as you could control the input so got great overdrive in the 60s but it wasn't fashionable then.

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 !
