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.

Was gonna say that one look like it got dropped, or sat on by something really heavy. While we're at it, the power supply looks a bit suspect also. Bruce Daily wrote:

Having been around one of these that was dropped and looked in surprisingly similar shape, it's my guess that the whole inner frame might well be out of square, and that is a MAJOR problem. I'd stay away from this puppy at $3000! Rick

Looks complete with the exception of the missing spill box lid. It is a CMC-10, but so far so good. Sounds like a mellotron, warble and all.

Warbling doesn't make it sound like a Mellotron... It makes it sound like a sick Mellotron. Mellotrons are supposed to maintain pitch and consistently reproduce the sound on the tapes.

You can adjust the pressure pads and rollers to eliminate the "wobblies" The procedure is on this board. ________________________________

I remember on the old list (wonder how they're doing by the way) that someone was actually investigating what it would take to get a batch (I'm guessing a thousand at least) of the lens caps made up. I guess that never went anywhere. I know that I'd be willing to pay up to $20 or so for one, to complete my machine. Higher than that and I'd probably have to explore methods of making one by hand. jeffrey coulter wrote:
