Greetings Jimmy  and everybody,

The SFX console was the first Mellotron with all solid-state electronics .
The very same modular preamp/knob assembly was directly incorporated into the
M300's .  When the M400 was made,no more germanium transistors were used.

My datasheet on the M300 indicates that it had the same modified NARTB
tape standard also adopted for the M400's . So I'd go out on a limb and say that
the SFX was comparable to M400. I had the pleasure to hear the sound-effects
tapes on Pierre's  SFX tha sounded just fine.  And of course,Rick Blechta's
"Brendatron" with 36 sparkling new lead sounds in Toronto.

Hope this helps,guys. BTW, the Philly cheese-steaks were great,but I floated home
on a cushion of methane all the way. Something you might appreciate,Mr. Dickson!

Cheers, JK of the "Flatulent Four" ........and still DON'T call me Shirley......
