This is an M400?  What headphone jack is that?  Mine doesn't have one.  You should plug into an amp through the output jack and see if you hear it there.  This would go a long way to isolating the trouble.

Seemed more random. Thru the headphone jack.


But yesterday I played through the output jack on the back into an amp and noticed no pops in the sound throughout, so that was nice. The only other problem I had is that the output would slowly go soft and then die out completely. Then after rotating the volume knob a few times, I got the sound back. This happened a few more times. On the last time it happened, no rotating of the volume (or tone) pots alleviated this but I kept playing and eventually it came back.

I have more questions about my mellotron but I will post them in another thread to the group. I can say it was nice playing her again after all these years!
