The Mellotron Group

We have had a spate of 'tron owners calling us with problems  relating to 
noise, buzzes, clicks, pops and radio interference that they  couldn't get 
rid of.  There is normally one common solution and all  you 'tron owners 
should take note:
 
ALL MELLOTRONS SHOULD BE GROUNDED.  NEVER USE  A 'TRON THAT ISN'T!
 
Seriously, if you have a 2 pin plug going into a wall socket,  cut the 
bastard off and make sure you fit a 3 pin plug with a proper  earth/ground back 
to the powerpack.  If you don't, not only are you in  potential danger but 
none of the screening on the instrument will be  effective.
 
If your house has a poor earth, take a wire from the mellotron  mainframe 
and strap it to a metal pipe that goes into the floor.
 
And relax...................
