Hi Martin,
Thanks for the adjustment tip. I think that anyone who still has the original pinch rollers in their M400 really needs to exchange them for a new set. It's amazing what a difference they've made in mine. The pitch remains steady to the end of the tapes and the overall sound is much more even. Even the feel of the keyboard has improved.
Regards,
Bernie

The correct setting for the key back tension is to tighten the backnut until the keys just touch the bar and then add 1/8th turn only. Do not screw the backnuts down tightly.

We have made good progress but we are way behind as this year has been difficult for all involved just trying to stay ahead of the badtimes. Neither us nor Norm have been able to dedicate the time in an effort to keep the money flowing. We are so close it's frustrating!
