Echolette, Binson EchoRec

Hey All,

Finally, a memtion of the magnetic-mechanical echo machines. To make a long
story short, I'm looking for one for two years now.

Does anyone: 1) have one for sale - any condidtion or 2) have
service/theory documentation or 3) know of a source for replacement parts?

I've a friend in town with one each Echorec and Echolette; both need
repairs sorely. Like, what to use for the (metal?) tape??? 

Thanks,
