Hi Paolo-
Every other tape head in the MK2 photos were wired out of phase by the factory. The re-wiring put them in phase with each other. This improved the signal-to-noise ratio. The M400s are all wired in-phase, so, no problem.

hi to all
TRONers,i try to rewrite this topics
because the previous
was disappeared.
I would ask to you what's the
advantage (i suppose in term of noise) to change the wiring
of the tape heads as shown in the photo (they are the three
headblock of a MKII before and after
modification).
http://www.kleonard.com/mellotron/vt0906/qtronwork.htm
I don't remember how M400
or MKV tape head are wired, maybe this modification only
concerns MKII.
Thanks to
all.
Best
Paolo
