Hi Bruce!I have no idea when the multi turn pot was added. The PML-1 was part of the Sound Sales "upgrade. Prior to that it had the WME 289 & WME 290 pre amp and line amp cards in it. When I got it, it had a SMS-2 but that card looked like it has been scorched and I wasn't happy with it so I replaced it with the SMS-5 which is a direct swap. As for CMC-10 cards, I just toss them.Thank God for spare parts, ehh?I hope it does well on eBay. It's a really nice sounding machine.In a message dated 6/26/2009 10:57:47 A.M.

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!-Bruce Daily#1221
