Looking for Binson Echorec II Solid State circuit diagram(s) & possibly manual

[Rob Flinn]

Anyone able to help ?

I have a couple of (blurry) Echorec solid state schematics, but neither says Echorec II.  All of those I have are tube.  Is there another model number on the ID plate?

Not sure, becasue this one is branded Sound City for the UK market.  However it looks like this one.  It has a magic eye tube/valve level meter, which might correspond with the schemo.

Ok, the one you linked to is all tube, but one of my horrible copies of a copy downloaded from god-knows-where does have a magic eye tube and transistor circuit.  Maybe it will help?

I have a cleaner (I hope!) version of the same schematic here.

Excellent thanks to both of you.  The unit I'm dealing with definitely looks like the one inthe link I posted.  It's the same colour, It has the jacks on the side, the tape drum mechanism is exactly the same , but it is definitely solid State.

Thanks, bibi!  Adding that to my files...
