You need to speak with the Official Mellotron Wankers of Streetly Electronics in 
lower downtown Uppppper Blithbury, Slightly North of Rugely Somewhere in the 
Midlands of the United Kingdom.

In other words, call Martin. He'll give you the correct gen and he might even 
answer your questions.

PS As an Electronic Engineer, believe me when I say that you don't want to know 
about all this. You have to take it on faith...
