Hey Frank-
Nice unit, and a thorough refubish job! Glad you replaced the control panel escutcheon, I never liked the '70s look of those black ones. Was the PML-1 single-board preamp used in the early machines?
I noted with interest the multi-turn pot used on the pitch control. We have seen other examples of this mod. I am guessing it was added before the Sound Sales travesty, in an attempt to even-up the pitch instabilities of the original CMC-10 (which, of course, would NEVER be a solution).
Do you ceremoniously burn old CMC-10's on a pyre en masse?
Wishing you well, and best of luck on the auction of this unit!
