The Mellotron Group

Not true Mark. I can walk you right through the process. It's a piece of  
cake. You don't have to remove the other capacitors, although they are 
rendered  useless by the SMS board. All of the modifications can be done in about 
20  minutes. Modifying the power supply will have no effect on the preamp or 
any  other components and you won't fry anything. Mellotrons are amazingly 
simple,  but even if you don't understand what you're doing, as long as you 
follow simple  instructions, nothing will go wrong. You are not going to 
break or damage  anything.
 
I have walked a lot of folks on our list through all kinds of improvements  
on there machines and once done, what originally seemed complicated and 
risky  worked out just fine.

I did  manage to wire in a standard socket but trust me if I attempted the 
CM10 and  belt change I would be swapping a tron which works  reasonably 
well for  one  that didn't work at  all!
