The Mellotron Group

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.

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!
