Hey Frank-
 
   Nice unit, and a thorough refubish job!  Glad you replaced the control panel escutcheon, I never liked the '70s look of those black ones.  Was the PML-1 single-board preamp used in the early machines?
 
   I noted with interest the multi-turn pot used on the pitch control.  We have seen other examples of this mod.  I am guessing it was added before the Sound Sales travesty, in an attempt to even-up the pitch instabilities of the original CMC-10 (which, of course, would NEVER be a solution).
   Do you ceremoniously burn old CMC-10's on a pyre en masse?
 
   Wishing you well, and best of luck on the auction of this unit!
