Certainly not. I just discovered that Graham Hintons EMS Modification Page has
become lost in cyberspace. I beleive the Trapetzoid schematics is/was on it.
Actually, that whole domain seems lost. Did Hinton Instruments just close
buissness or move domain-wise? Hmm... 
http://www.hinton-instruments.co.uk/ is there. Hmm... yeah! Here!

Improved since last incarnation, with pictures added and all. And, as I recall
it, the schematic for the trapetzoid:

So, now what was that problem again?

Also, read the "Mains Connectors" section. I agree and find it highly amusing
at the same time. The photo is obviously the back side of a modified VCS3,
including XLRs, MIDI and what have you. In all, this page tries to shake you
into reality. ;O)
