Streetly can make minor adjustments during the tape production 
process to suit the MK VI azimuth.  New Streetly tapes / frames work 
very well in a MK VI!  At TrontoII we tried a standard Streetly M400 
frame in a MK VI.  On one of the tracks (Fairlight voice, with lots 
of high frequency content), we noticed that a few notes were not 
quite as crisp as the others.  NOT a big issue to my tin ears!

I haven't heard of any problems using MK VI tapes / frames in M400's.
It seems to me that Mellotron Archives supply these to M400 owners 
regularly.
