Did it look like the pitch control here a little less than halfway down the
page:

This item came from the factory. Its use is certainly questionable on a
Mellotron.

Jack, did you remove this from the EMI, or is it still there? I don't
recall if I left it in the machine when I got the machine running.

M400 #1037 - pitch the pitch controller!!
