Re: [newmellotrongroup] MAGNETS?!?

2007-12-28 by Bruce Daily

Yeah, those magnets looked rather unshielded. But,
a high-energy MOVING magnetic field is the issue.
Those speaker magnets don't move, and are an adequate
distance from the tapes. An unshielded transformer in
a power supply might be a problem, like one of those
plastic battery-substitution boxes. Or, something
motorized & unshielded could affect the tapes (Wait,
isn't there one of those in each 'tron?).

Ummm...detrimental? I don't think I would let a
cat with IBS hang out on top...
