MAINTENANCE
This is a mechanical unit, as such you can expect minor knocks and the occasional
sound of the revolving drum. This is normal. If the mechanical noise increases or
becomes consistent it is an indication that the unit needs to be cleaned.
The Binson Echorec' s moving parts and the Magnetic heads WILL need a bit of clean-
ing occasionally. If the unit is used regularly, the various parts will need cleaning
more often.
We have added a small toolbox with the original Binson Oil, a small flat-tipped screw-
driver and cloth.
Cleaning the drum and magnetic heads
Turn off the unit and remove the cover.
Pic 1 - Use a lint-free cloth dipped in Isopropanol alcohol (wipe off any excess liquid
on a piece of tissue paper) and carefully clean the drum; the access point is between
Record heads 1 and 2. Turn the drum CCW by putting your finger on top of the drum;
if necessary, repeat the procedure until the cloth no longer has residue on them.
Pic 2 - Now clean the magnetic heads by placing a piece of paper between the heads
and the drum. Gently pull out the brackets holding the heads and place the paper
while repeatedly turning the drum.
Lubricate the drum
Switch on the unit and adjust it to the lowest speed.
Pic 3 - Now use a lint-free cloth dipped in original Binson Oil (wipe off any excess
liquid on a piece of tissue paper) and carefully lubricate the drum; the access point is
between Record heads 1 and 2.
