Subject: [Mellotronists] Request Data for Mellotron  Motor


 
 
 
I have a pair of M400s that have the original motor drive boards. They  are 
in storage, but I would like to start restoring them now. One thing I  
would like to do is replace the motor drive board with something that does  not 
sag, i.e. will support a couple of fistful of notes without slowing  down. 
Does anyone have any data on the correct voltage range and the typical  
current draws for different numbers of simultaneous notes? There are a  number of 
DC motor controllers on the market for industrial applications,  and I'm 
hoping to find one to match up with the Tron's needs.  

best,
Richard
