THE MELLOTRON RANCH AND HEALTH SPA

For a happier Mellotron...And a happier You!


Start with good exercise...


...and awesome music...
(mouse over the CDs in the picture for more info)

and


...things we find at the Mellotron Ranch but don't ask about.

Mellotron M400 #805 needed the spa treatment, and Jerry was happy to oblige (well, OK, after suitable bribes were paid).  I brought #805 along in "skellotron" form (without the case).

In addition to checking the motor controller for the correct voltage, Jerry performed the anti-flameout modification.

As you probably recall from earlier MONEYPITs, your M400's on-off switch is wired incorrectly.  There's juice at the switch, and it is before the fuse!  If there's a problem in the switch, your mains voltage is right there in your hand.  The modification needed to remedy this is very simple and takes about 10 minutes.  Recommended!

Thank you, Jerry!

Well, it's about time to wrap things up...-->
