Re: [Mellotronists] Unscrewing an EMI - assistance, please...

2003-12-03 by Ken Leonard

>1) Does anyone have information about adjusting the SMS-5?

Anyone have the SMS5 installation/adjustment instructions handy?

Although I know the EMI's motor may be underpowered or even going toasty, 
it should have *some* reaction when one puts a finger on the 
flywheel.  This one just drops pitch and stays there.  Perhaps the motor 
controller's sensitivity to load needs to be increased just a little.

I could guess, but I don't want to put the thing totally out of whack!

Thanks for your your help.

M400 #805 - look who's calling something else "out of whack"...
M400 #1037 - [not playing.  waiting.  for parts.]
EMI E4 #103S - [out of control]
