Nacho,
What you have there, Nacho my friend, is bad typography. What they
meant to put down was CMC-10, which is the older, more unstable motor
control card. Maybe they put it on the recording credits to excuse the
fact that they couldn't keep the darn mellotron in tune! This unit
designation is Canarios' invention, though. Certainly, Streetly would
never have used it to label one of their 400's.
