Hi Gang, Ol' #1322 will need an SMS2 conversion jiffy-quick. That CMC10's gotta go !


If there's no audio, either 1) open 30V(18V) fuse, blown preamp card(s),
or simplest (frequently found), very dirty contacts on the front foot-pedal
jack (switched ) .


Good Luck potential bidders ! --JK-- (Mellotron dirt under the fingernails)

I watched the last 7 minutes of this auction (yes, I have no life).
It sat for about 6 of those 7 minutes at $1875 with 3 bids. During
the last minute it jumped to $2025 and during the last few seconds
up to $3053 with 8 bids ($3253 with the shipping). Based on the
buyer's record, (s)he appears to be a professional buyer/seller of
musical equipment/electronics. Good luck to him with her
restoration. Looks like the final price could easily top $5000.

Yep.  Those were an expensive three seconds!  I had my eye on this one...  maybe next time.
